Goldie in Cursive

Watch the name Goldie drawn in cursive stroke by stroke, trace it on the writing lines, and print a free practice worksheet.

Goldie takes 3 strokes to write in cursive — the capital G on its own, then o-l-d-i-e in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i. The animation below draws it on the writing lines exactly the way children practice it in Scribble; trace it after, then take the worksheet to paper.

How to write Goldie in cursive

  1. 1Write the capital G, then lift the pencil.

Keep o, i, and e small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let l and d climb toward the topline. The capital G spans the full height from baseline to topline.

How the letters in Goldie connect

Follow the joins as you write Goldie: o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of l; l ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of d; d ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; i ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of e. Remember: the capital G stands alone, so lift the pencil before the next letter.
