Letter G worksheets and activities
Explore G and g through looking, playful marks and a short shared game. Capital G starts with an open curve and includes a short inward section. Lowercase g in our font has a rounded body and a tail below it. Some books use a different g with two enclosed sections; both printed forms can represent the same letter. Choose one part of the pack rather than expecting every page to be completed in one sitting.

What we’re exploring
Recognise capital G and lowercase g, compare their shapes and find them among other printed letters.
A little way to play
- Start with the large G and g models. Say the letter name and invite your child to point to either form.
- Use a finger on the pale tracing models, then offer a pencil if wanted. Follow the child's school formation guidance rather than treating these outlines as stroke instructions.
- Try the letter hunt together. Each cell has a number so a grown-up can check the separate answer guide; the child can point, circle or colour a match.
- Draw a big G on paper as a garden gate sign. Add flowers around the outside without covering the opening. Make a smaller g label underneath and notice how its tail drops lower than its rounded body.
Make it easier
Cover most of the letter hunt and offer just two choices. Keep the G / g model visible, and let an adult make the marks while your child points.
Try a little moreCompare G with C and look at the extra mark inside G. Compare g with q using the direction and shape of their tails, rather than asking the child to memorise both at once.
For the grown-up
Goat, gate and gift are example words. The letter g can sound different in other words, so this pack concentrates on recognising its written forms. Follow the school approach when you move from names to letter sounds. These are original recognition resources, not a school phonics programme or a developmental test.
Answers & naming help
The matching forms are G and g. The hunt has six target cells; their numbers are listed on the adult activity page. The example words goat, gate, gift begin with g. Accept pointing or a description when the child is still learning the letter name.

How do I print this?
Choose your vocabulary and paper size, then download the PDF. Print at actual size or 100%. Use the low-ink option for outline activities; colour-name cards still need their colour to teach the word. Cut-and-stack mini-books are available in the flashcard maker.
