How to use this worksheet

  • Start each circle at the dot on its left side, go down and round counterclockwise, and close it exactly where you started.
  • Lift the pencil after each circle and move on to the next one.
  • Aim for circles that touch both guide lines.
  • Keep the same gap between circles, as the dashed guide shows.

What this worksheet teaches

Circles drawn counterclockwise are the foundation of many letters: c, o, a, d, g and q. By 4–5 most children can already copy a circle, so this sheet focuses on size, roundness and closing the shape neatly inside medium rows about 1.8 cm tall. Starting every circle at the same point also builds the habit of beginning letters in the right place, which makes later handwriting faster and neater.

Play idea

Collect coins, buttons or bottle caps of different sizes and draw around them, always starting on the left side and going down. Then trace one row on the sheet and see whose circles are rounder.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why counterclockwise?
It is the direction of c, o, a, d, g and q. Practicing it with circles makes those letters easier.
The circles don't close. What helps?
Ask your child to watch the starting point while drawing the last part of the circle and to stop exactly there.
How do I know my child is ready for smaller circles?
If large circles come out closed and round, the medium size on this sheet is the right next step.
