Rolling Ball Circles

This engaging worksheet helps students in Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten strengthen pre-writing and fine motor skills by tracing large and small circles arranged along horizontal paths. By practicing repeated curved strokes, size variation, controlled movement, and visual tracking, learners build the motor foundation needed for early handwriting while enjoying a playful, rolling-ball themed activity.

Learning Goals

• Pre-Writing Skills (Early Childhood) – Trace circles of multiple sizes to support curved letter formation
• Fine Motor Development – Improve wrist rotation, finger control, and smooth circular motion
• Visual Motor Integration – Maintain round stroke shape while following structured horizontal lines
• Handwriting Readiness – Develop motor memory through repeated, intentional circle tracing

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators with early handwriting development in mind
• Skill Progression Built In – Alternates large and small circles to encourage movement adjustment
• Flexible Use – Ideal for writing centers, morning work, OT support, or homeschool practice
• Engaging Layout – Rolling ball visual pattern keeps students motivated and focused
• Low Prep – Print-and-go worksheet requiring only a pencil or crayon

This printable pre-writing worksheet helps young learners gain confidence with circular stroke formation, size control, and tracing accuracy. By switching between wide and tight movements, students strengthen fine motor coordination, visual motor control, and early handwriting readiness. Whether used in a classroom or homeschool setting, this worksheet provides a simple, effective way to reinforce essential curved-stroke skills that support future letter writing success.
