What's included in the Benjamin worksheet

Letters to trace: 8; Capital B + 7 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #11; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Tracing Benjamin is a step up from the basics — it spells out with 7 different letters over 8 positions, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. Watch the tail on “j”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. Remind your child to finish “j” and “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. It starts with a capital “B”, which joins a straight stroke to a curve — draw the line first, then add the curve to it. Because Benjamin was the #11 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Benjamin tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Benjamin, one at a time:

B — One big line down, then back to the top for two bumps out to the right — the first stops at the middle, the second at the bottom.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline. Benjamin uses it twice.
j — A short line down that keeps going below the baseline, curls to the left, and takes a dot on top.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
m — A short line down, then up and over one hump, and up and over a second hump — two humps, evenly sized.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.

Benjamin is a one-tall-letter name: the capital B owns the top guide line, and the rest of the word sits low. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Benjamin is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. It also cracks the top 100 of the 2025 boys' list — 954 of the 965 boys' names here rank behind it.

Benjamin was the #11 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. The worksheet itself is one page — US Letter, A4-friendly — ruled with classic three-line handwriting guides plus a descender line below.

Tips for tracing Benjamin

Benjamin is 8 letters, so split early sessions in half: trace the first 4 letters one day and the rest the next, then put the whole name together.
Point out that “j” in Benjamin dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
Teach "body first, dot last" with “j” and “i” — finish the downstroke, lift, and only then place the dots.
Give Benjamin its height song: “tall, small, small, tail, small, small, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Close with a single unguided Benjamin on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Benjamin solid and dark.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Benjamin keeps all 8 letters on one line at medium or small; on large, use the lines for a few letters at a time instead.

Number of practice lines

Anywhere from 1 to 12 lines fits below the example row. A first session usually wants a few big lines; a daily practice sheet wants many smaller ones.
