Ten characters about getting from here to there — by air, rail, road, or taxi — fill this free printable HSK 1 worksheet themed around Travel & Getting Around. Each word comes from the HSK 3.0 vocabulary lists and matches a SayMei course week, so you can practice exactly what you just studied.
The page centers on high-speed travel: planes, trains, taxis, tickets, and the road. You'll trace and write characters like 飞机 (fēi jī), 火车 (huǒ chē), 机场 (jī chǎng), 票 (piào), and 打车 (dǎ chē), plus foundational verbs such as 坐 (zuò) and 去 (qù). Every word appears in 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grids with pinyin printed above each character, so you always know the pronunciation while you practice the strokes.
A full word list with pinyin and meanings follows below this article.
The method is simple and proven: trace the guided strokes first to build muscle memory, then write each character from memory in the blank grids beside it. Saying each word aloud as you trace reinforces the sound-shape connection — especially useful for characters like 车 (chē) that appear inside compound words such as 火车 and 开车 (kāi chē). Print the page directly or download it as a PDF; no signup is needed.

You can also explore the HSK 1 lessons hub page for the full course, or try the printable "Screens & Free Time" worksheet and the printable "Birthday & Celebration" worksheet — two more HSK 1 packs that pair well with this one.

Each character starts with guided strokes you trace inside 田字格 grids, building muscle memory for correct stroke order. Once you feel confident, you write the same character from memory in blank grids beside the traced example. Saying words like 火车 (huǒ chē) and 机场 (jī chǎng) aloud as you trace reinforces pronunciation alongside handwriting.
