Back to School Kindergarten Worksheets

Starting school is such a big step for little learners. The first few weeks in Kindergarten (or Prep/Foundation) are all about settling in, building routines, and gently introducing key skills. I created this Back to School Kindergarten Worksheets & Activities pack to help make that transition smooth for both teachers and kids!

Inside this 129-page pack, you’ll find a wide range of print-and-go worksheets designed to support fine motor skills, early literacy, number sense, and classroom routines. Everything is low-prep and easy to use, with a good balance of cutting, coloring, gluing, tracing, and thinking activities.

Fine Motor Practice

Using Glue (2 pages)
Children practice squeezing small amounts of glue onto dots on the page. This is a great activity for introducing how to use glue safely and with control. Once complete, students can sprinkle glitter or attach paper pieces for a fun finish.

Cutting Practice (4 pages)
Each page features a picture to color, followed by cutting along straight and curved lines. Once cut, children fold back the flaps to reveal a surprise image underneath, making this a fun and rewarding way to build scissor skills.
