This Kindergarten worksheet on Pre-Writing Lines and Strokes helps young learners develop essential fine motor skills needed for letter formation and early writing. Designed especially for KG students, this worksheet focuses on tracing straight lines, curved lines, zigzags, waves, circles, ovals, and uppercase letters.
Through structured tracing practice, children strengthen hand control, pencil grip, and movement coordination. These foundational strokes prepare learners for writing alphabets and numbers confidently and neatly.
Practising lines and strokes helps children:
1. Develop strong fine motor and pencil control skills.
2. Improve hand-eye coordination.
3. Build confidence before formal letter writing begins.
4. Prepare for uppercase and lowercase letter formation.
🧠 Exercise 1 – Trace the Straight Lines
Children trace vertical, horizontal, and slanting straight dotted lines carefully to build control and direction awareness.
🌙 Exercise 2 – Trace the Curved Lines
Students practise tracing semi-circles and curved strokes that are important for forming letters like C, O, and S.
⚡ Exercise 3 – Trace the Zigzag & Wavy Lines
Children trace zigzag and wavy patterns to strengthen wrist movement and smooth flow control.
⭕ Exercise 4 – Trace the Circles & Ovals
Students trace circular and oval shapes to prepare for writing round letters such as O, Q, and D.
🔤 Exercise 5 – Trace the Dotted Letters
Children neatly trace uppercase letters from A to T, strengthening letter formation and stroke sequencing skills.
Exercise 1 – Straight Lines
Students should trace neatly over:
• Vertical lines
• Horizontal lines
• Left-slanting lines
• Right-slanting lines
Exercise 2 – Curved Lines
Students should carefully trace all dotted curved shapes and semi-circles from left to right.
Exercise 3 – Zigzag & Wavy Lines
Students should trace zigzag patterns and smooth wave lines without lifting the pencil unnecessarily.
Exercise 4 – Circles & Ovals
Students should fully trace each circle and oval, maintaining smooth continuous strokes.
Exercise 5 – Uppercase Letters
Students trace the dotted uppercase letters:
A B C D E
F G H I J
K L M N O
P Q R S T
(Tracing quality may vary based on fine motor development.)
