1.   Insert a table: 14 columns, 14 rows. Highlight table and change line spacing to Double spacing

2.   In the grid, type the words Start and Finish (or End) to create the starting and ending locations.

3.   Choose a theme for the maze.

4.   The title and pictures should reflect the theme.

5.   Under the title type “Created by Your Name.”

6.   Merge cells and insert at least 3 cliparts, wordart or pictures, but not more than 4 in the maze. (use format, picture, layout, in front of text)  Each clipart/picture is limited to 4 contiguous cells.

7.   Create a path between Start and End by using the border icons to remove cell walls.  You may use diagonal lines and line thicknesses to enhance the looks of your table.

8.   Be sure to have some “dead ends” in the maze as well as a complete path from Start to End.

9.   Print the maze and have a classmate test it for you.  If okay, print a clean copy.

10.        Please keep this school appropriate.  They may be given to the elementary teachers for end-of-year puzzles for their students.
