Bridges Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns, Draw from the Model, 5 Rows, Ages 6–8

Bridges
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the bottom line, go up, round over the top and back down to the bottom line.
- At the bottom, turn sharply and go straight into the next arch; the joints should touch the bottom line.
- Trace the dashed arch, then carry on alone, keeping every arch the same width as the model.
What this worksheet teaches
Arches over the top are the movement of handwritten n, m, h, r and p, where the pencil climbs, curves over and comes down. A long row of bridges builds a smooth clockwise curve at the top and a clean turn at the bottom, and it shows whether your child can keep the arches the same size without dashes. At 6–8 this is ideal practice before cursive writing, because many cursive joins are exactly this kind of arch.
Play idea
Bridge inspector: when a row is finished, your child compares every arch with the solid model and puts a small check mark over any bridge that is too steep or too flat. The next row aims for fewer marks.
