How to use this worksheet
- The Greek key is a continuous line of straight sections: across, up, across, down and across again — like a stepped meander.
- Start at the dark dot at the left end of the bottom line and trace the key to the right without lifting: across, up, across, down, across, down, then on into the next key.
What this worksheet teaches
The pattern is all right angles, so it teaches stopping the pencil at every turn and planning the next section.
Play idea
Use the pattern as a border around a drawing or a card — that is how Greek vases were decorated.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What if my child loses track of the turns?
Say aloud “across, up, across, down” — the rhythm of the words guides the hand.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5: the whole row of Greek key is dashed and medium-sized, so the child practices stopping at each right angle while the line shows where to turn.
What if the pencil slips off the dashed key?
Trace the first two keys together, hand over hand, and freeze the pencil for a second at every corner; the line stays on track when the turns are not rushed.
