Crosses
How to use this worksheet
- The dark dot marks the top-left end of the first stroke: go down to the right, lift, then draw the second stroke from the bottom left up to the top right.
- Trace the dashed crosses, then continue freehand; each row holds nine to eleven crosses.
- Keep both ends of every stroke on the guide lines so all crosses are the same height.
What this worksheet teaches
Crossing two lines asks the child to stop, lift and restart in a planned spot, a small sequence that is easy to get wrong. Doing it many times in a row builds the habit of looking where the pencil will land before moving, which later keeps letters like x, k and t from drifting apart. At 5–6 the half-traced layout is the right step up from full tracing: guidance first, then the same movement with no dashes.
Play idea
Tic-tac-toe warm-up: after the sheet, draw a grid on scrap paper and play a few games in which your child always plays X, using the same two strokes as on the card.
