Lab Mice

Lab Mice Maze Game

The lab mice are hungry and looking for cheese. It's your job to help each colored mouse work his way through the grid to find a piece of cheese of the same color. Use the marker to draw a pathway (horizontal and/or vertical lines only) on the grid from each mouse to his matching cheese. Be careful, none of the pathways can intersect!

There are 50 dry-erasable cards with a puzzle printed on each side. The puzzles are numbered 1-100, there are three levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced), and the puzzles get more complicated as you go. The grids on the beginner cards are 8 X 8, intermediate are 10 X 10, and advanced are 12 X 12. Erase the cards right after you solve the puzzles. Even though they are erasable markers and cards, if you leave the markings on the cards, after a while they are hard to clean off. All of the answers are included in the Instructions & Solutions booklet.

Try this:

• Work a puzzle first as the individual watches. Talk through the problem solving process aloud. Then erase and let him try.
• Trace the pathways with your eyes and/or finger before beginning to draw.
• Problem solve out loud if you hit a snag, brainstorm together.
  
• Work on spatial relations, visual discrimination, visual scanning, figure ground, critical and analytical thinking, fine motor precision with a writing tool, efficient grasp, coordinated use of both hands, manual dexterity, visualization, process skills, executive functioning skills, play and leisure exploration and participation, socialization skills
