Target Games Day / Wool Laser Maze

Wool Laser Maze

Children crawl and step through a maze of wool 'lasers' without touching a strand.

How to run it

  1. String wool between chairs and table legs at different heights, taping ends securely.
  2. Explain that touching a laser means going back to the start.
  3. Children take turns stepping and crawling through the maze.
  4. Re-string the maze to make it trickier for the next round.
