Punjabi Numerals Dot to Dot Printables

Join ੧, ੨, ੩ to Reveal a Picture

Punjabi numbers dot to dot worksheets are connect-the-dots pictures whose labels are written in Gurmukhi digits. Start at ੧, draw a line to ੨, then find ੩, and keep going in order until the picture appears. The counting is the same as in a 1, 2, 3 puzzle; only the written shapes of the numbers change.

This English-language page gathers the Punjabi Numerals versions of 66 pictures. Open a card, choose its Punjabi Numerals Version and print. The guidance here is in English; the labels on the printable use Gurmukhi digits.

The Ten Gurmukhi Digits

Every label is built from ten digits: ੦, ੧, ੨, ੩, ੪, ੫, ੬, ੭, ੮, ੯. They are encoded in the Unicode Gurmukhi chart. A comparison strip helps while the shapes are new: ੦ = 0; ੧ = 1; ੨ = 2; ੩ = 3; ੪ = 4; ੫ = 5; ੬ = 6; ੭ = 7; ੮ = 8; ੯ = 9.

These sheets use the Gurmukhi digits, the number symbols written with the Gurmukhi script in Indian Punjab and in many Sikh and Punjabi community schools. Punjabi written in the Shahmukhi script, as in Pakistan, uses different digits, so this set suits learners of Gurmukhi.

Digits to Compare Before Starting

A few Gurmukhi digits are easy to confuse. ੧ (1) looks like a small hook, ੨ (2) and ੩ (3) differ by one curl, and ੬ (6) can be mistaken for ੯ (9). Keep the strip close while those numbers come up.

Place Value Works the Same Way

Gurmukhi digits use the same base-ten place value as 0–9. The label ੨੪ means 24, and ੪੨ means 42. Read the whole label before searching for the next dot; reading only the first digit leads to the wrong place.

Larger pictures cross into three digits. The 104-dot Circus Camel ends at ੧੦੪ and the 106-dot Poppy Flower ends at ੧੦੬. Before starting one, look together at ੯੯, ੧੦੦ and ੧੦੧.

Choosing a Picture

Pictures in this collection run from 43 to 145 dots, so even the shortest trail goes past 20. If a learner knows only the first ten or twenty numbers, connect the opening stretch together and help with the rest.

Shorter trails include Saturn (43 dots, ending at ੪੩), Space Camera (43 dots, ending at ੪੩) and Camellia Flower (45 dots, ending at ੪੫).

For a longer sitting, try Cute Baby Elephant with 50 dots or Crescent Moon with 60 dots or Cute Puppy with 70 dots. Each card also shows a suggested age and difficulty for the drawing itself.

How to Use the Worksheet

Find ੧ and the final label before drawing anything, so the learner knows how far the trail goes. Read a few labels together with the digit strip nearby. A pencil and eraser help while the shapes are new.

Ask the learner to point to the next number before drawing each line. That separates deciding what comes next from finding where it sits on the page. If they stop, ask which number they are looking for before helping. Finish by checking the last few connections, then colour the picture.

One Picture, Two Number Systems

Each Punjabi Numerals puzzle is a label version of an existing number puzzle: the dots and the connection order are the same, only the written digits change. Print the 1, 2, 3 version of the same picture and compare the tenth and twentieth dots on both sheets.

Punjabi number names (ਇੱਕ, ਦੋ, ਤਿੰਨ…) are taught separately; the worksheets practise reading the written digits in counting order.

Printing the Free PDF

Open a puzzle, check that Punjabi Numerals Version is selected, and download the PDF for A4 or US Letter. Print at actual size (100%) rather than from a screenshot, and check that labels close together are clear before printing a class set.

About This Guide and Reporting a Problem

The Punjabi Numerals Version replaces each number label with the same number written in Gurmukhi digits, keeping the picture and connection order. The end labels on this page are calculated from each puzzle's dot count.
