Fall color graphing activities that let little learners roll, spin, color and graph their way through autumn! This set of 5 Fall Color Graphing Activities helps preschool and pre-K children work on colors and graphing skills together with fun fall themed centers and activities built around leaves and apples.

Children roll a color cube, find the matching leaf or apple and add it to the graph. They spin and color on print and go pages, and the whole class can graph red, orange and yellow leaves together during circle time. Every activity gives children a simple, hands-on way to see which color has the most.

With these fall color graphing activities, you get

• 5 fall color graphing activities for centers, morning work and circle time
• Leaf and apple roll and graph sets in full color
• Black and white roll and graph sets you can color to match any colors you want to teach
• Print and go spin, color and graph printables for independent practice
• A whole class graphing set for red, orange and yellow leaves

Print, laminate and start graphing this fall!

Why Teachers Love It

• Two skills in one: Children practice color recognition and early graphing at the same time.
• Low-prep and hands-on: Print and laminate the graphing activities and they are ready for your math centers.
• Ink-friendly options: Black and white graphing sets are included for those who have limited printing abilities.
• Any colors you choose: Color the black and white cubes and graphs to match the colors you want to focus on.
• No reading required: The roll and graph sets are great for special needs students because they do not require any reading skills and give children plenty of low-pressure practice with color words.
• Whole class, small group or independent: Use the whole class set at circle time, the roll and graph sets in centers and the spin, color and graph pages for morning work.

Skills Students Practice

Primary Academic Skills

• Color recognition: Children name and match nine colors on leaves, apples, cubes and graphs.
• Graphing: Children record each roll or spin on a simple bar graph, one space at a time.
• Sorting by color: Leaves and apples are grouped into color columns on the graph.
• Counting: Children count how many spaces are filled in for each color.
• Comparing amounts: Children look at the finished graph to tell which color has more or fewer.
• Color words: Repeated practice with color words builds early vocabulary.
• Fine motor skills: Coloring graph spaces and handling cubes and spinners build hand control.

Secondary Life & Learning Skills

• Taking turns
• Following directions
• Maintaining attention
• Making and checking predictions
• Using mathematical language
• Working independently

How to Use It

Step 1: Choose a cube format. Use the large fall images with a differentiated instruction cube or build your own cube with the cube template. Print and laminate the graphs for centers.

Step 2: Introduce colors and graphing during circle time with the Whole Class Fall Color Graphing Set. Graph red, orange and yellow leaves together and talk about which color has the most.

Step 3: Set out the leaf and apple roll and graph sets in your math centers and use the print and go Spin, Color and Graph printables for a fun, independent morning activity.

Easy Differentiation

Every preschool group has children at different places with colors and counting. These activities are easy to adjust so each child can be successful.

For Children Who Need More Support

• Start with the whole class graphing set and its three colors: red, orange and yellow
• Use the black and white set and color only two or three colors on the cube and graph
• Name each color together before rolling
• Count the filled spaces on the graph together, pointing to each one

For On-Level Practice

• Play the leaf and apple roll and graph sets in math centers
• Complete the spin, color and graph printables for morning work
• Ask children to tell which color has the most and which has the fewest
• Have partners take turns rolling and graphing

For an Extra Challenge

• Use the black and white set to add new colors to the cube and graph
• Ask children to predict which color will win before they start rolling
• Have children count how many more one color has than another
• Invite children to explain what their graph shows using color words

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support

• Use the roll and graph sets, which do not require any reading skills
• Practice color words with a short sentence frame such as "I rolled ___."
• Offer the large cube for children who need a bigger item to grasp and toss
• Laminate the graphs so children can mark them with dry erase markers again and again
• Give extra processing time and model each roll and mark before children begin

Perfect For

• Preschool and pre-K math centers
• Circle time
• Morning work
• Small groups
• Partner games
• Independent math practice
• Fall theme units
• Special education classrooms
• Homeschool preschool

Standards

These fall color graphing activities support the 2022 Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines and Virginia's Early Learning and Development Standards (2021), and they build toward kindergarten skills in Common Core, the TEKS and the Virginia SOL (Math 2023):

Common Core State Standards

• CCSS K.MD.B.3: Classify objects into categories and count how many are in each.

Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines

• Texas Pre-K Guidelines PK4.V.E.1: Sort objects that are the same and different, such as leaves and apples by color.
• Texas Pre-K Guidelines PK4.V.E.2: Collect data and organize it in a graphic representation, like the roll and graph sets.
• Texas Pre-K Guidelines PK4.V.A.2: Count up to 10 objects, touching one for each number, while counting graph spaces.

Texas TEKS

• TEKS Math K.8.A: Collect, sort and organize data into two or three categories.
• TEKS Math K.8.B: Use data to create real-object and picture graphs.
• TEKS Math K.8.C: Draw conclusions from real-object and picture graphs, such as which color has the most.
• TEKS ELAR K.3.C: Identify and use words that name categories such as colors.

Virginia Early Learning and Development Standards

• Virginia ELDS CD3.4: Sort and classify fall pictures by color.
• Virginia ELDS CD3.1: Count and compare quantities on a finished graph.

Virginia SOL

• VA SOL Math K.PS.1.a: Sort and classify objects by one attribute, such as color.
• VA SOL Math K.PS.1.f: Organize and represent a data set using pictures to form a simple picture graph.
