35 No Prep, Free Kindergarten Worksheets & Activities
Are you looking for free Kindergarten worksheets for your Kindergartener? If so, here are 35 free worksheets for Kindergarten that you can print and use right away!
This quarantine time is turning many moms into teachers. I know it is uncharted waters for many parents! For me? It’s a chance to put on my Kindergarten teacher hat again! I taught Kindergarten for 5 years before I was married and those years were some of my favorite teaching years. I truly enjoyed teaching third and fourth grade, and preschool too, but there is something about Kindergarten that will always hold a special place in my heart.
My oldest son is in Kindergarten this year with an amazing Kindergarten teacher. We truly miss her during this quarantine time, which for all schools in Indiana, now through the end of the school year. While the teachers are providing activities and Zoom lessons for our students, I went on a search for free Kindergarten worksheets that would help my son stay on top of his Kindergarten skills.

All of these Kindergarten worksheets are completely free with no sign ups required. Okay, you do have to have a basic account at TpT and Mailbox but you won’t receive any emails in exchange for signing up.
I am also picky about the worksheets I use. I want them to be high quality pdfs that print clearly. I don’t want ads on my worksheets or blurry pages that aren’t formatted well. Every single one of these free Kindergarten worksheets is a high quality pdf in black and white that prints clearly from any printer.
The other great thing about these Kindergarten worksheets? There is absolutely no prep required. You can print these worksheets and use them right away. You can add stickers or dot paints or other things to spice them up a bit, but you don’t have to do any of that. You can simply print them and give them to your Kindergartener.
I don’t recommend forcing your child through hours of worksheets every day. However, worksheets have a good place to reinforce content and help solidify skills. You can print the skill content worksheets that are at the appropriate skill level for your child.
During this extended time of at home learning, I printed off all of these free Kindergarten worksheets and hole punched them into a 1 inch binder for Nathan. Every day during school time, he flips through them and chooses a few to work on. I tried to cover a variety of content areas with a higher emphasis on math and language arts. We are doing lots of reading (which is incredibly important!) but these worksheets give us a bit of official school time each day.
Here are some of the best sites for free Kindergarten worksheets – with direct links to some of the best Kindergarten worksheets I found.
