Flower Graphing *reusable

For this *reusable* graphing activity you will need:

• A simple, blank graph (like this one)
• A laminator + laminating sheets (or a sheet protectors)
• wet erase markers
• dry erase markers
• Spinner (I made mine, but there are some rainbow ones here or blank ones here)

First, print as many graphs as you have kids/students. Laminate those graphs or put them in a sheet protector to make it reusable.

Next, with wet erase markers draw one flower at the bottom of each column. I used the 6 colors in the rainbow, to go with my spinner.

Then, get a spinner with rainbow colors. [I made mine, using the back of a spinner from a board game we have, a circle rainbow sticker (printed on sticker paper and cut out), then pulled the arrow spinner off the board and to put it on the back.]  Or you can google spinner printables and use a paper clip!

Last, play the game! *take turns spinning if you are playing with a group.

• Spin the arrow to see which color you get.
• Find that color flower, mark it on the graph with a dry erase marker (we drew F’s because it was during our letter F week)
• Repeat, until one column is filled up.

When one column is filled, then you can ask questions about the graph:

• Which color flower had the most spins?
• Which color flower had the least?
• Which two flowers had the same amount?
• How many MORE red flowers are there than blue?
• How many orange and green flowers are there together?
• etc….

**You can use this graphing activity for ALL KINDS of
different themes (umbrellas, dogs, ants, kites, etc!!)
