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

Bridges
How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dot on the bottom line, go up and over in a round arch and come down to the bottom line again.
- Trace the one dashed arch, then keep building arches next to each other without lifting the pencil.
- Make every arch the same width as the model; the last row is shorter because it stops before the mascot.
What this worksheet teaches
A bridge is a clockwise arch: up, over the top and down, then straight into the next one. This is the movement of the humps in n, m, h and r, so a row of even bridges is good preparation for those letters. Drawing from the model with just one traced arch asks a 5–6 year old to judge width and height alone and to keep the tops round rather than pointed.
Play idea
River crossing: draw a wavy river under a finished row and let a toy car, or a finger, drive over every bridge. An arch that is too flat is a bridge the car cannot cross.
