How to use this worksheet
- Once the dashes stop, the tram is built again from rectangles: one long carriage on the rail, a window at one end and a door near the other, with the pantograph on the roof.
- About the first half of each of the five rows of trams is dashed; your child then draws the rest alone, keeping every carriage as long as the solid tram and standing on the rail.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing the second half of each row alone means keeping every carriage the same length and leaving the same gap before the next one, so the row looks like trams waiting at a stop.
Play idea
Give each freehand tram a route number on its side and let your child read the numbers back like a timetable.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why do the freehand trams get shorter along the row?
Children often speed up once the dashes end; measure the solid tram with two fingers and check each new carriage against that width.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — the tram is all right angles, which makes it a fair first shape to finish freehand once the dashes run out halfway along each row.
What if the window and door on the freehand trams come out too big?
Draw the carriage first, then compare the window and door with the solid tram before drawing them; they should fit inside the carriage with space around them.
