Free Graphing Printable for Preschool and Kindergarten

Fall means colors in beautiful earth tones and contrasting hues of yellow and red, and lots and lots of exploration with natural materials. It’s easily my favorite season, and my favorite theme to teach. There is something spectacular about teaching in the fall because autumn awakens the five senses. So many fall activities require the use of multiple senses, making it especially appropriate for preschoolers.
FAQ About Teaching Graphing
Teaching graphing in preschool has many benefits. Teaching children how to graph at a young age helps them understand how to look for and collect data, identify patterns, and make predictions.
Graphing also gives preschoolers an opportunity to indirectly practice other mathematical and cognitive skills such as estimation, sorting, organizing, counting, classifying, problem solving, and comparing. It also develops spacial awareness.
There is a lot of overlap in sorting skills and graphing. So, to teach preschoolers how to graph — how to organize data — they must first be able to proficiently sort. Sorting skills include sorting by a single attribute, like color, and then by more attributes. To teach a preschooler how to graph, you teach them how to organize the sorted materials.
Be sure to read this post: The Ultimate Guide to Comparing and Sorting.
Preschool lesson plans in graphing should include a wide range of age-appropriate graphing practice. Preschoolers are capable of learning pictograph, bar graphs, and line graphs, so those should all be included in a Preschool Graphing Unit.

Fall Graphing Game for Preschoolers
In anticipation for our fall theme, I created this simple graphing game for my preschoolers and tested it out with my three and four-year old kiddies.
It’s very similar to our It’s a Zoo graphing game. So this was also a huge success as well!
Materials
Aside from a color printer, some cardstock, and your favorite laminator, all you need is the following:
- game piece for each player
- 0-5 or 0-3 dice (depending on skill). I like using these blank dice and filling in my own numbers.
- small yellow or orange buttons or pebbles
Set-Up and Prep Work
Just print, laminate, and cut. It really is that quick and simple!
Try These Fall Themed Manipulatives
You can amp up your printable fall game by using materials that are especially fall themed. In fact, I use these materials for just about all my free fall activities.
You can also use natural materials, like pumpkins seeds, small pebbles, or mini pinecones. If you want to be super fun, you can even use fall candies, like candy corn!
To Play the Fall Graphing Game
Select a player to go first.
Roll the dice and move your game piece the corresponding number. Identify the image on the game board and place a button on the graph in the corresponding space.
Play continues until the first player reaches the end of the game path. Once the game has ended, the children use the graph to identify which images got what quantity of buttons.

This game is a really easy way to reinforce basic graphing skills. It’s also a great transition activity from question-of-the-day activities and also pairs nicely with my other graphing activities for preschoolers.
Even my three-year-old enjoyed playing the game. In particular, he loved finding the matching pictures, and it was also a great way to teach him new vocabulary words about fall. Matching pictures is the first step in developing sorting skills, which is a precursor to teaching graphing, so this fall graphing game is awesome for both toddlers and preschoolers. You can even add this to your kindergarten math activities.
