About this activity

A row of cars and vans waits on the left, and each has its own road running to a destination on the right, such as a house, a garage, a bridge or a shop. The roads are straight, hilly, zigzag, winding or wavy, with a dashed line down the middle. Staying on the road is the whole game.

Skills this page builds

Staying within a pathRoad edges give clear boundaries, and children learn to keep the pencil between them.
Following changing directionHills, zigzags and winding bends need constant small adjustments.
Planning aheadLooking ahead to the next bend before the pencil arrives trains anticipation.

How to do this activity

Print the page and choose a pencil or crayon.
Pick a car and place the pencil at the start of its road.
Drive the pencil along the road, staying between the edges or following the dashed line, until you reach the building.
Do every road, then color the cars, buildings and trees.

Tips for parents and teachers

Add engine sounds; they naturally slow down the hand on bends.
Use a toy car on the printed road before drawing.
Start with the straight road, then try the winding ones.

Frequently asked questions

Is this easier than a dotted-line page?

Many children find it easier because the road gives a wide target. It is a good bridge between free scribbling and tracing dots.
