How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot at the left end of the upper oval. Go up and over to the right, down and back underneath to the start: clockwise.
- Lift the pencil and draw the lower oval from its left end the same way. It overlaps the first one.
- After one solid and one dashed link, draw 10 to 13 more links in each row alone.
What this worksheet teaches
The rows are only about 1.3 cm tall, so the ovals are close to the size of real handwriting. Drawing the same oval twice, the second one across the first, trains even size, a closed shape and crossing an existing line without stopping. Eight rows of copying from memory make this a sheet for stamina and concentration, suited to children who already write.
Play idea
Make a real paper chain from strips of paper first, then compare: on the worksheet, every link is two loops holding on to each other.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Which way do the ovals go?
Clockwise on this sheet: from the left end up and over the top, then back underneath.
The ovals grow bigger toward the end of the row. What helps?
Glance back at the model every few links; the guide lines show the height.
Why eight rows?
Many short repetitions at handwriting size build the steady, tidy movement school writing needs.
