How to use this worksheet

  • Each circle starts at the dark dot on its left side and goes down first and around counterclockwise, back to the start.
  • Trace the solid model and the dashed circles, then keep going alone between the lines until the row is full.
  • Lift the pencil between circles and leave a small gap, as in the model.

What this worksheet teaches

The counterclockwise circle is the starting movement of many letters: a, c, d, g, o and q all begin with it. Drawing medium circles means closing each shape precisely where it began, which is harder than it sounds at 4–5, and six rows give plenty of repetitions. The half guide lets the child copy the size first, then shows whether the circles stay round and full height once the dashes are gone.

Play idea

Bubble machine: the circles are soap bubbles. After each row your child picks the roundest bubble and adds a shiny color to it, and you pop the wobbliest one with a finger and a loud "pop".

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Which way should the circles go?
Counterclockwise, starting at the dot on the left side and moving down first, the direction used for letters like a and o.
The circles in the empty half stay open like a letter C. What helps?
Slow down on the last part and aim back at the starting point; a bubble with a gap would let the air out.
Why six rows instead of four?
Medium rows are lower, so six fit on the card, giving more practice without making the circles tiny.
