How to use this worksheet

  • Each circle starts on its left side and goes down and around counterclockwise, back to the start.
  • Stand every circle on the lower guide line and let it reach up to the upper one.
  • Lift the pencil after each circle and leave a small, even gap before the next.

What this worksheet teaches

At medium size, a circle is close to the size of the round letters a, c, d, g, o and q in first handwriting practice, and all of them begin with the same counterclockwise movement. For 5–6-year-olds the focus is on making many circles of equal size, closing each one neatly and keeping even gaps – the same control that keeps letters in a word consistent. Five rows with half tracing give plenty of repetitions without dots, which helps turn the correct direction into a habit before school.

Variation to try

After the page, write a row of o and a row of a on the back – each starting with the same circle movement your child just practiced.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why start on the left side of the circle?
The start dot sits there on this card. From the left side the pencil goes down and around counterclockwise – the same direction as in a, c, d and o.
The freehand circles are oval. Is that fine?
Slightly oval is fine. Aim for circles that stand on the line and reach close to the top line.
How many circles should my child draw without dots?
The rest of each row – roughly half of it; the dotted part and the freehand part are about equal.
