When a Chinese New Year card arrives from relatives, or you need to write 生日 (shēng rì, birthday) on a gift tag for your grandmother, recognizing characters on screen is not enough — your hand needs to know the strokes. This free printable worksheet covers ten HSK 3 words for family members, holidays, and celebrations, all drawn from Week 21 of SayMei's course. It suits any learner at the HSK 3 level who wants structured handwriting practice — whether you are a student preparing for a written exam, a parent helping a child learn Mandarin, or a teacher building a lesson on Chinese culture.
The page features 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grids with pinyin above each word. You will practice writing 爷爷 (yé ye, grandfather), 奶奶 (nǎi nai, grandmother), 节日 (jié rì, festival), 礼物 (lǐ wù, gift), and 春节 (chūn jié, Spring Festival), along with celebration verbs like 庆祝 (qìng zhù, to celebrate) and 唱歌 (chàng gē, to sing). These words come directly from the HSK 3.0 vocabulary lists and align with SayMei's HSK 3 lessons hub page.
Each word starts with guided strokes to trace, followed by blank grids where you write the character from memory. Saying each word aloud as you trace helps lock in both the sound and the shape. For extra repetition, you can print our blank printable 田字格 writing grid paper and continue practicing any characters that feel tricky. The worksheet prints directly or downloads as a PDF, with no signup needed.

Each word begins with guided strokes that you trace directly inside the 田字格 grids. After tracing, you write the same character from memory in blank grids on the same row. This guided-to-free approach helps you build muscle memory for stroke order and character proportion without needing to copy from a separate reference.
