How to use this worksheet
- The traced shuttlecocks set the size and the angle to keep: every one leans the same way, with the same wide fan of feathers and the band curving across it.
- Dashes run along roughly the first half of all five rows; then your child draws the shuttlecocks alone, checking the solid model for the tilt and the width of the fan.
What this worksheet teaches
The hard part of half tracing here is keeping the same slant and size after the dashes end: every freehand shuttlecock has to lean like the traced ones and sit at the same distance from its neighbor. Holding a diagonal direction steady across a row is useful preparation for slanted letter strokes such as those in k, v and x.
Play idea
Tie a string across the room as a net and play balloon badminton over it with your hands, counting how many hits you make before the balloon touches the floor.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How much of each row is dashed?
About the first half — the dashes stop a little past the middle, so your child traces a few shuttlecocks and then fills the remaining space alone.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — the dashed shuttlecocks show the slant and the spread of the feathers, and the child completes each row freehand; a step from tracing to independent drawing.
What if the freehand shuttlecocks stand upright or the feathers bunch together?
Compare with the solid shuttlecock: the cork sits low on the right and the feathers fan out up to the left. Fix the tilt first, then spread the feather lines.
