What's included in the Christopher worksheet

Letters to trace: 11; Capital C + 10 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #68; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Christopher sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “C” on, most of its 11 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. Watch the tail on “p”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letters “h” and “t” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Christopher was the #68 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Christopher tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Christopher:

C — One open curve: start just below the top line, swing up and over to the left, round the bottom, and stop before closing the circle.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline. Christopher uses it twice.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there. Christopher uses it twice.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
p — A line straight down past the baseline, then back up for the same bump at the top.
e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.

The tall strokes in Christopher come from “C”, “h” and “t” — four of its 11 letters reach the top guide line. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Christopher is one of the long ones: just 2 of the 1,918 names on this site run eleven letters or more. It also cracks the top 100 of the 2025 boys' list — 897 of the 965 boys' names here rank behind it.

Christopher was the #68 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.

Tips for tracing Christopher

At 11 letters, Christopher is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 6 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
Before starting, trace the tail of “p” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Christopher is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
Save the dot on “i” for last: letter body first, then lift the pencil and dot it.
Finish each session with one try writing Christopher on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

Dotted letters are the classic preschool tracing outline; solid light-gray letters are the next step, for writing directly over the full letterform. The example row of Christopher always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Christopher keeps all 11 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

Set 1 to 12 practice lines below the example row. Fewer, larger lines for beginners; more, smaller lines for daily practice sheets.
