What is ideal learning for a modern child? It should be interesting, informative, and exciting. It should be a kind of training where you can learn something new and relevant beyond the school program—well structured with clear tasks. To achieve this, many parents, caregivers, and teachers start using worksheet templates or blanks. They will allow you to create course reports, email grades to students and parents, enter grades for your courses, import grades into a Google classroom journal, generate random passwords or dates, and make a proper schedule.

Why Use Our Templates for Worksheets?

Worksheets with assignments work as follows: the child signs their sheet sees the task and completes it with ease. There is no confusion or additional questions, as often happens with other teaching approaches. The child does not get tired, but seeing his/her success, on the contrary, asks for more tasks.

Worksheets with cute designs are easy to use and free to download. For young children (under 5 years old), worksheets will be especially interesting. For instance, the ones where you need to color, find common or excellent, connect the necessary elements. Children 5-7 years old will be interested in more difficult tasks, where you need to perform more complicated actions. As a rule, such worksheets are aimed at memorizing important dates, geographical objects, and serious formulas, knowledge of which will help students of different ages to successfully complete exam papers.

Use our worksheet templates with an attractive design to guide your class and get creative with your teaching methods. Our printable worksheet templates are free and editable for different learning levels. Our templates help you quickly grade students, create customized and shared reports, and email them to students and their parents.

Even if working with modern technologies is hard for you sometimes, you will definitely enjoy using our Google Docs layout. One of the benefits of such templates is that you can fill in different tables online or by hand. What we mean is that you can print a worksheet you like and write all the info you need with a pen. But there is no actual need to print it as you can simply fill it in Google Docs and save it in the format you prefer. Your job is going to become a pleasure for you with our templates!

Make your own printable handwriting worksheets

Create your own custom handwriting worksheets for handwriting practice!

You can choose traditional or modern print styles:

Handwriting Worksheets for Print Practice

• Letters, numbers, and the following characters can be used:   .  ! ? , ‘ ( ) + = –
• Use the underscore character  _  to make a division symbol. (Any other characters will show up as an error on the worksheet.)

Choose which mode you prefer:

Landscape or portrait mode?  Approximately 12 characters will fit on one line when printed in portrait mode. Up to 17 characters will print per line when printing in landscape mode. To change print modes, go to your browser’s page setup, then ‘Print Preview’ to check the results before printing. Set your margins at 0.5″ or less for best results.

How to Create a Flowchart in Excel Using a Template

By creating a flowchart in Excel using a template, you streamline laying out processes or decisions. The elements you would use in a flowchart are already formatted and placed in the spreadsheet, making it easier to complete. Follow these steps to use a template for efficient and clear flowchart creation:   

• Define Objectives Identify what to map out with your flowchart. You could use a flowchart to visualize a new project workflow, improve an existing process, or understand the steps involved in a task.  
• Identify Key Steps Outline the main actions, decisions, and outcomes involved in your process. Consider the start point, the end point, and what happens in between in order to break down the process into manageable pieces.   
• Gather Necessary Information   Collect any details (understanding responsibilities, timeframes, or decision criteria, etc.) that need to be included in each step of the flowchart.  

Use an Existing Flowchart Template  Download a basic flowchart template for Excel , then rename and save the document.  

Name the Process Flow Open the template and click on the  BLANK - Basic Flowchart tab. In the template’s header fields, enter the name of the process you want to chart, the flowchart’s author, and the creation date.  

• Map Out the Process  Mark the start of your process with the beginning shape (usually an oval). Click the  START  oval, select and highlight the existing text, and type the first step in your flowchart process. Repeat the same steps to change the content of each existing element in the flowchart. Use rectangles for actions or tasks, diamonds for decision points, and arrows to show the flow from one step to the next.  Pro Tip:  Access flowchart shapes in your Excel file by clicking on the  Insert menu and clicking  Shapes .

• Select the Shape:  Click the flowchart shape containing the text you want to modify. 

Change Shape Format and Size: Right-click the selected shape, and choose  Format Shape . Click the  Text Options tab in the formatting pane, and click the  Text Box icon. Adjust the font, size, and color by selecting your preferences from the drop-down menus.   

Change Shape Size:  Click a shape. Click and drag the sizing handles on the corners or sides of the selected shape to resize.

• Review and Refine Once your flowchart is complete, review it for accuracy and clarity. Make sure it correctly reflects the process and is easy to understand. Adjust the layout or text as needed.   
• Share Your Flowchart  Save your completed Excel flowchart and share it with team members or stakeholders. You can export it as a PDF for easy sharing or print it for discussions and presentations.

How to Manually Create a Flowchart in Excel

You can create a flowchart in Excel by using the shapes feature to draw boxes and arrows to map your process. Making a flowchart in Excel is like drawing a guide to each step. It's helpful for understanding different tasks. Follow these steps to make a flowchart in Excel:  

Open a Blank Excel Document Open Excel and click  Blank Workbook . Name the workbook, choose a place to save it, and click the Save button.  

Start with Shapes In the Excel workbook, click the  Insert  tab, click the Shapes drop-down arrow, and scroll to  Flowchart options. Click on a shape, then click in your Excel spreadsheet to add the  shape. Repeat for each shape you want to add to the flowchart.  

Tip: Pick shapes, such as the square (for processes), diamond (for decisions), and circle (for start/end points) for your flowchart.   

Make Shapes Bigger   To provide enough room to write inside the selected shapes, you’ll need to make them bigger. Click a shape, and click Ctrl + A (on a PC and  Command + A  on a Mac) to select all the shapes. Click a corner on one of the shapes, and drag it to resize all the shapes together.   

Personalize the Shapes   After enlarging the shapes, double-click a shape to label it (e.g.,  Start ,  Task 1 ,  Process , etc.).   

Adjust Font Size as Needed Highlight the text in the shape, and click the Home tab. Change the text size and color using the font collection and font size drop-down menus, respectively.   

Connect the Dots Add arrows to the flowchart to draw connections between the shapes. Click the  Insert  tab, click the Shapes drop-down arrow, and scroll to the  Arrow  options. Click an arrow, then click the Excel workbook. Resize and re-orient the arrow, and drag it to where it should go in the flowchart.    

Title the Flowchart Click the  Insert tab, and click  Text Box in the toolbar. Click where you want the title to appear on the flowchart and enter a title.   

Save and Share the Flowchart   Once you've completed your flowchart, save and share it with others.
