 Marble Maze- Cognitive skills

Steps to making the Marble Maze

First we created a base for our maze.  We created some concentric circles inspired by Kandinsky, using felts, pastels or pens.

 Next we cut our circles into smaller squares and rectangles and glued them onto the base of our cardboard.  We created a new pattern with them.

Then we added straws and cardboard and made a maze that a marble could run through.  We added extra decorations to enhance the look of our game. 

Then we tested them.

Marble Maze

We have been learning about mazes and how they can help us boost our brain by :

• Problem solving

• Remembering

• Building focus

• increase our concentration

• and make our minds grow greater!

They created their own marble mazes using simple materials like straws and cardboard.  The background was created by using concentric circle art that they had made, inspired by artist Kandinsky.

As they designed and constructed the maze, they had to consider the placement of walls, the layout of the paths, and the positioning of obstacles to create a solvable puzzle. This process encouraged them to think logically and plan ahead. 

Building the mazes helped them to enhance their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities while having a lot of fun!
