Bridges
How to use this worksheet
- Start on the lower line at the dot and draw the first arch up and over, landing back on the lower line.
- Go straight into the next arch without lifting the pencil; the bridges join at their feet.
- In the freehand half, check that each arch lands on the line rather than floating above it.
What this worksheet teaches
Bridges are a chain of arches, the same movement as the humps of the letters n, m and h. Starting each arch from the lower line and returning to it teaches the hand where letters sit, one of the first things handwriting needs. The large size gives a tall arch that a four-year-old can draw with a relaxed arm, and the half-traced rows show whether the child can keep the arches the same width without dots. Even arches are also good practice for smooth, controlled curves before smaller writing.
Play idea
Build two or three bridges from blocks and drive a toy car over them, saying "up and over, up and over" – then let the pencil drive the same route across the row.
