General Knowledge worksheets for 5 year olds
Four general knowledge worksheets pitched at 5 year olds, free to print with no account and no watermark. Every one is an easy sheet: big shapes, thick lines and room to be inaccurate.
Naming and noticing familiar parts of everyday life, starting with the body.
They assume a child who writes most uppercase and many lowercase letters, which is typical at five. If that is not there yet, the age 4 sheets are the better place to start.
Sheets in this set include Little Red Riding Hood Coloring Page, Parts of the Body Matching and Family Members: Trace the Names. Each is one page on A4, laid out with margins wide enough that nothing is lost printing on US Letter.
Sessions of ten to fifteen minutes work better than one long sitting. Print at 100% rather than fit-to-page — the gap between the guide lines is what tells a child how tall to make a letter, and shrinking it to 94% quietly undoes that.
