Zigzags
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot at the bottom left and draw straight up to a sharp point near the top line, then straight down to the bottom.
- Copy the sample peak and the dashed one, then keep going, up and down, to the end of the row.
- Aim for the same height and the same width for every peak.
What this worksheet teaches
A zigzag is a chain of diagonal strokes with sharp turns, the same movement found in v, w, z, M and N. At 6–8, the question is no longer whether a child can draw a zigzag but whether it stays even across a long row with no guide: every point should reach almost to the top line, every low point almost to the bottom, and the slopes should stay parallel. Seven rows build the endurance and consistency that written schoolwork needs.
Play idea
Mountain skyline: when the rows are done, your child adds a flag on the highest peak of each row and a tiny hiker at the lowest point, then you check together whether they really differ.
