孩子 (hái zi) is one of the first words you need when talking about people and ages in Mandarin. This free printable worksheet gives you 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grids for 孩子 and nine other HSK 2 words about life stages, names, birthdays, and everyday life — all ready to print or download as a PDF with no signup needed.
The worksheet covers ten words from the HSK 3.0 vocabulary lists, matching SayMei's course weeks. You'll trace and write characters like 孩子 (hái zi), 老人 (lǎo rén), 大人 (dà rén), and 年轻 (nián qīng), along with terms for names and birthdays like 名字 (míng zi), 生日 (shēng rì), and 出生 (chū shēng). The set also includes 国家 (guó jiā) and 生活 (shēng huó). Pinyin appears above each word in every grid.
Each word starts with guided strokes in 田字格 tracing grids — you trace the character following the stroke order, then write it from memory in the blank grids below. Saying each word aloud as you write reinforces the connection between sound, meaning, and shape.
