This purposeful back to school activity has been designed to accompany a whole class reading of the picture book First Day by Andrew Daddo. These no-prep worksheets provide the opportunity for your students to explore the process of getting ready for school.

This resource includes three options to suit the needs of your class. Students can either colour in the events on the maze in order to reflect the events of the story, complete the maze and draw 3 pictures to reflect things they do to get ready for school or complete the maze and write 3 things they do to get ready for school.

This resource provides an opportunity for students to discuss the routine of getting ready for school. This discussion can be scaffolded through reference to the character in First Day, following the steps she takes to get ready for her first day of school. Our First Day of School Maze is a wonderful activity to complete at the beginning of the school year.

This resource is available in our basic fun font and all Australian state fonts.
