How to use this worksheet
- The traced medals show how the pieces fit: the two ribbon lines lean in toward each other and end at the top of the circle, and the star sits in the middle of the medal.
- The dashes cover roughly the first half of each of the five rows of medals; after that your child draws the rest freehand, making sure the two ribbon lines come together right at the top of the circle.
What this worksheet teaches
In the freehand part the child keeps three things steady: the size of the circle, the angle of the ribbon and the gap to the next medal. Repeating a shape of several parts at an even size and spacing, right after tracing it, is a bridge between guided tracing and writing letters freehand on a line.
Play idea
Award a medal to every family member: your child writes an initial next to a freehand medal and says what that person wins it for — the best hugs, the fastest shoes…
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Should the star be drawn without lifting the pencil?
Ideally yes: up to a point, down into a dip, five times around and back to the start, as on the traced medals; lifting once or twice is fine while learning.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — they trace the dashed medals at the start of each row and draw the others alone, which practices joining lines exactly at one point.
What if the star inside the freehand medals is too big for the circle?
Draw the circle first and put a small dot in its middle; the star goes around that dot, and its points should stay inside the circle, as on the solid medal.
