Dot to Dot: Bicycle with Two Large Wheels — Ages 6-8
How to use this worksheet
- The wheels, spokes, frame and pedal are printed; the dots trace the outer edge of the bike.
- Start at the bigger dot 1 above the middle of the frame; dot 2 is near the handlebars on the right.
- Dots 5 to 9 curve around the front wheel, 11 to 14 dip in around the pedal, and 15 to 20 circle the back wheel.
- The last dots, 21 to 28, zigzag back across the top of the frame to dot 1.
What this worksheet teaches
Unlike round fruit or animals, this outline does not follow one simple shape. The line goes around a wheel, dips in toward the pedal and swings out again around the second wheel, so the next dot is often not where a child expects it. Following the numbers anyway teaches careful reading. Counting runs into the twenties, with 21 to 28 on the upper part of the picture where the line turns back. The bike also invites a chat about how it works: pushing the pedals turns a chain, and the chain turns the back wheel.
Play idea
After finishing, count the spokes on one wheel in the picture, then go outside and count the spokes on a real bike. Which one has more?
