Imagine in Cursive

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

imagine takes 3 strokes to write in cursive — i-m-a-g-i-n-e in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i (×2). 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 imagine in cursive

  1. 1Write i, m, a, g, i, n, e as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
  2. 2Go back and dot the i (×2).
Strokes: 3Pencil lifts: 2Letters: 7

Keep i, m, a, n, and e small — they live between the baseline and the midline. g dips under the baseline before swinging back up.

How the letters in imagine connect

Follow the joins as you write imagine: i ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of m; m ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of g; g ends on an overcurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; i ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n; the remaining 1 joins follow the same rhythm to the end of the word.

Frequently asked questions

Watch it drawn first, then trace it: imagine is 3 strokes with 2 pencil lifts, so learn where each stroke begins before writing freely. The worksheet on this page follows that exact trace-copy-practice order.

The pencil lifts 2 times: to dot the i.

Follow the joins as you write imagine: i ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of m; m ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of g; g ends on an overcurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; i ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n; the remaining 1 joins follow the same rhythm to the end of the word.

imagine starts with the letter i, which opens on an undercurve. Start there every time — the entry stroke is what the trace check on this page listens for first.
