LKG Worksheets (Ages 4–5): Printable PDF Packs
LKG worksheets for ages 4 to 5 move a child from recognising letters and numbers to writing them. In a typical Indian LKG class, whether the school follows CBSE, ICSE or a state board, children trace and write capital and small letters, learn the sound each letter makes, count and write numbers to 50, name shapes and colours, and talk about EVS topics such as my body, animals, fruits and the seasons. In the United States the same year is called pre-K, so these work as pre-k worksheets too.
The packs below are sorted by subject: English and phonics, maths and numbers, EVS and general knowledge, tracing and fine motor, and colours, shapes and colouring. Each one is a print-ready PDF. For most four-year-olds, ten to fifteen minutes a day, with a lot of talking and a little writing, is the right amount.

LKG English worksheets: letters, tracing and phonics
LKG English builds on the letter sounds met in nursery. Children trace capital and small letters from the correct starting point, match uppercase to lowercase, hear the first sound in a word and begin to notice rhymes. By the end of the year many can write their own name and read a few simple three-letter words, though there is no hurry for that.

LKG maths worksheets: numbers 1 to 50
LKG maths widens counting from 10 to 50 and starts writing numerals neatly. Children match numbers to groups of objects, find the missing number in a short sequence, join dots in number order and meet the idea that 5 can be split into 2 and 3. Counting real things (spoons, buttons, steps on the stairs) alongside the sheets keeps the numbers meaningful.

LKG EVS and general knowledge worksheets
EVS topics in LKG are usually myself and my body, my family, animals and their homes, fruits and vegetables, and the weather. Labelling and matching sheets give children the vocabulary, and the charts are made for circle time, where children say the day, the weather and the season out loud together.

Tracing and fine motor worksheets for LKG
Writing letters is hard work for a four-year-old hand. Mazes, cutting strips and name tracing build control without the pressure of getting a letter right, and they make a good two-minute warm-up before a writing sheet. Reusable tracing mats save paper when a child wants the same page again.
Shapes, patterns and colouring for LKG
Children in LKG name the basic 2D shapes, spot them in everyday objects, continue simple AB and ABC patterns and begin to follow a colour key. Colour by number quietly practises reading numerals at the same time.
How to use LKG Worksheets at home and in class
At home, follow the order your child's school teaches, if you know it, so home practice repeats the classroom rather than racing ahead of it. Start each sitting with a fine-motor warm-up such as a maze or a cutting strip, then one writing sheet, then something fun such as colour by number. Watch the pencil grip and the starting point of each letter more than the neatness of the result: habits set in LKG are hard to change later.
In class, many LKG teachers run one letter and one number a week. The letter-of-the-week sheets and the number tracing pages map onto that plan directly, and laminated tracing mats turn into reusable centre work with a dry-wipe marker. One purchase covers unlimited printing for one classroom.
Print on plain copier paper, choose Actual size rather than Fit to page so the tracing lines keep their spacing, and look for the low-ink greyscale copy that many packs include.

LKG Worksheets: common questions
What is taught in LKG in India?
Most LKG classes cover writing capital and small letters, letter sounds and first phonics, numbers 1 to 50 (counting, writing and ordering), basic shapes and colours, simple patterns, and EVS topics such as my body, family, animals, fruits, vegetables and the seasons. Rhymes, stories and art run alongside. The exact topics and their order vary from school to school.
What age is LKG?
LKG (lower kindergarten) is usually for children aged 4 to 5, after nursery and before UKG. Age cut-offs differ between states and schools, so check with your school. The same year is called pre-K in the United States and Reception in England.
Are LKG worksheets the same as pre-K worksheets?
Largely, yes. Pre-K in the US covers the same ages and the same skills: letter sounds, tracing, counting, shapes and colours. Most packs come in both A4 and US Letter, and each product page lists its paper sizes.
How many worksheets should an LKG child do a day?
One to three sheets, or about ten to fifteen minutes, is plenty for most four-year-olds. Stop before your child gets tired. A short, happy sitting every day teaches more than a long one at the weekend.
Should an LKG child trace letters or write them freely?
Both, in that order. Start each letter by tracing over the dotted model, then trace with only the starting dot shown, then write it alone. Moving from tracing to independent writing over a few weeks is normal LKG progress.
Can I get LKG worksheets as a free PDF?
The Letter A pack is free: enter your email on the free sample page and download its 12 pages straight away. The other packs are paid, priced per pack, and the bundles bring the price per sheet down a long way.
My child is left-handed. Will these work?
Yes. Tilt the paper slightly to the right and let your child hold the pencil a little higher up. There is also a separate left-handed handwriting pack that puts the model letters on the right of the line, so the writing hand never covers the example.
Can I print the worksheets for my whole class?
Yes. One purchase covers unlimited printing for your own home or for one classroom. Sharing the file with other teachers or other schools needs its own purchase.
