Crosses
How to use this worksheet
- Each X has two strokes: from the dark dot at the top left, pull down to the bottom right, then lift and draw from the bottom left up to the top right.
- Trace the dashed crosses, always in that order, so both lines meet in the middle.
- In the empty half, draw your own X shapes with the same size and gaps, reaching almost to both guide lines.
What this worksheet teaches
An X is made of two diagonal lines that must cross at their centers, and copying one is usually expected around five, after the simpler plus-shaped cross. Medium-size crosses call for precise finger movements, and repeating the same two-stroke order across six rows builds a reliable habit. Planning where to start the second line, and lifting the pencil to get there, prepares for letters made of separate strokes, such as x, k, t and f.
Variation to try
Tic-tac-toe: after the sheet, draw a small grid and play a round using the X's your child has just practiced. On the worksheet itself, circle the three neatest crosses.
