Walking into a 商店 (shāng diàn, store) in China, you can tap your phone to pay — but when it is time to jot down a price or fill out a bank form, characters like 钱 (qián, money) and 信用卡 (xìn yòng kǎ, credit card) suddenly feel unfamiliar. This free printable page from our free printable Chinese worksheet generator gives you guided 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing practice for ten HSK 2 words about buying, selling, and paying.
The page covers vocabulary centered on money and shopping choices. You will trace and write 买 (mǎi, to buy), 卖 (mài, to sell), 便宜 (pián yi, cheap), 商店 (shāng diàn, store), 超市 (chāo shì, supermarket), and 银行 (yín háng, bank), among others. Every word comes from the HSK 3.0 vocabulary lists and matches the corresponding week in SayMei's HSK 2 lessons. Pinyin sits above each word in the tracing grid so you never lose the connection between sound and character.
Start by tracing the guided strokes in the shaded grids, paying attention to proportions and stroke order. Then move to the blank 田字格 cells and write each character from memory. Saying each word aloud as you write — for example, "便宜, pián yi, cheap" — reinforces recall. You can print the page directly or download it as a PDF, with no signup needed. If you want extra space for repetitive practice, grab our blank printable 田字格 writing grid paper as a companion.
Once you are comfortable with these characters, try the printable "Future Plans & Big Choices" worksheet (HSK 2) or the printable "Review & Practice" worksheet (HSK 2) to keep building handwriting fluency.

Yes. The guided tracing strokes in each 田字格 cell show you exactly where to place every stroke of 钱, 买, and 卖 before you attempt them from memory. Learners at HSK 2 who can already read these characters but need handwriting practice will benefit most, though complete beginners can also use the guided lines to learn stroke order.
Yes. After tracing the guided strokes on this page, you can print our blank 田字格 grid paper for additional repetition. Writing 便宜 and other two-character words repeatedly in blank grids helps lock in proportions and stroke order without the guided shading.
