Two kinds of sheets

Cursive Practice With or Without Coloring

The same Cursive Practice activity makes both sheets. What changes is whether you type anything in Add drawings.

Cursive name worksheet for the name Mary Elizabeth in dotted joined cursive on five handwriting rows with a dashed midline
Just the NameLeave Add drawings empty and the sheet has only the name and its five handwriting rows, for a child who just wants to practice.
Cursive name worksheet for the name Sofía in dotted joined cursive on five handwriting rows, with butterflies, flowers and a rainbow to color
Trace, Then ColorType what your child loves in Add drawings, and the generator draws it above and below the rows, so the sheet ends as a coloring page.

How it works

Three Steps to a Cursive Name Sheet

The generator writes the name in joined cursive and lays out the handwriting lines for you, so there is no cursive font to find and nothing to line up by hand.

01

Choose Cursive Practice

Open the Activities tab in the generator and pick Cursive Practice in the Activity menu.

02

Type the Name

Write a first name, a full name like Mary Elizabeth or a short word, up to 20 characters. Accented letters like the í in Sofía work too.

03

Add Drawings and Print

List the drawings to place around the rows, such as dinosaurs and volcanoes. Then generate the sheet and print as many copies as you need.

Why Colorin

Cursive Practice That Ends with Coloring

Besides the name and the handwriting lines, each sheet has the drawings your child asks for, so the cursive handwriting practice has a reward at the end of the page.

  • A reason to finish the rows

    The drawings sit above and below the rows, so a child traces the name five times and then gets to color the kittens, dinosaurs or horses they picked.

  • Joined cursive, ready to trace

    The name is written in dotted joined cursive at the start of each row, followed by open space to practice writing it again.

  • Lines made for handwriting

    Every row is three-line handwriting paper with a dashed midline, the guide children use to size small letters and tall letters.

  • Long names and accents

    Full names like Mary Elizabeth fit on each row, and names with accents like Sofía keep their accent.

  • No watermark

    Downloaded sheets have no watermark, so they print clean at home or at school.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cursive handwriting name generator free?

You can start with a free Colorin account, which comes with credits that refill every 10 days, enough for your first cursive sheets. To make more sheets, you choose a paid plan.

How do I make a cursive name worksheet?

Open the Activities tab in the Colorin generator, choose Cursive Practice, type the name and generate the sheet. If you want drawings around the rows, list them in Add drawings first. Then download the sheet and print it.

What does the cursive practice sheet look like?

The name is written in dotted joined cursive at the start of five handwriting rows, each with a dashed midline. After the name, each row has open space to practice writing it again.

Can I add drawings to color around the name?

Yes. Type what you want in Add drawings, such as kittens and balloons. The generator places those drawings around the rows for your child to color.

Does it work with long names and accents?

Yes. The name can be up to 20 characters with spaces, so a full name like Mary Elizabeth fits, and accented letters like the í in Sofía keep their accent.

Can I make cursive sheets for words and phrases too?

Yes. The text field takes a word, a name or a short phrase of up to 20 characters. It accepts letters, spaces and basic punctuation.

I need print letters for a younger child. Can I make those?

Yes. In the same Activities tab, choose Tracing instead of Cursive Practice, and the name comes out in dotted print letters. Our name tracing generator page shows how it works.

Can I make a sheet for every child in my class?

Yes. Type each child's name and generate one sheet per student, then print as many copies of each sheet as you need.

Do the sheets have a watermark?

No. The cursive sheets you download have no watermark.

Can I sell the cursive sheets I make?

Yes. What you make in your Colorin account comes with a commercial license, so you can sell your sheets, for example on Teachers Pay Teachers or Etsy. The license does not cover characters or brands that belong to someone else.

Still have questions? The quickest answer is to make one sheet.
