This free number 8 tracing worksheet helps kids learn to write eight the same way every time. Trace the dotted rows, then try the blank lines. Pick a line size, print on Letter or A4, and pair it with a quick counting game.
How to write the number 8
- Start at the middle dashed line and make a small circle on top, going up the right side first.
- Make a bigger circle on the bottom, starting at the middle and curving down the left side.
Teaching tip for 8
Our 8 is two circles, a small one on top and a bigger one underneath, like a snowman. Kids who struggle with the crossing figure-eight motion often find this way much easier.
Count to 8 with real things
- Count the 8 legs on a toy spider
- Count 8 grapes for snack
- Stack 8 blocks and count as you build
Writing a number sticks better when your child has just counted that many things with their hands.
