This color graphing activity is great for any child who knows colors and can sort! Starting kindergarten math games with your child when they are 3 and 4 years old is a great way to help them get ahead when they start school.

Color Graphing: A Kindergarten Math Game

Even before a child knows their numbers they can start working on math skills. Math skills can include graphing, charting, sequencing, sorting, counting, and more.

This kindergarten math game is a super easy way to introduce your child to math concepts early on and is a wonderful way to help them get ahead before they start school!

You will need the following items for this activity:

* – 1 white poster-board
* – Crayons, markers, or colored pencils in standard colors.
* – 1 Sharpie marker
* – Ruler (optional)

Making the coloring graphing board:

1. Using the sharpie and the ruler (or even the side of a box), draw 9 lines down the long side of the poster-board. These should be about 2″ apart.

2. Draw 1 line across the 9 lines, 2″ from the top of the poster-board.

3. Using whatever coloring items you have (crayons, markers…) to color in the boxes at the top. I like to keep things in rainbow order when possible.

Playing the Game

Now all that’s left to do is grab a few colorful toys and let your child sort them!

We used our Thomas Wooden Railway Trains and I put them all in a box.

James then sorted them as he grabbed the next one – lining them all up in the correct color row.

Once the entire box is sorted, ask your child which row is longest (has the most items), and which one is the shorted (has the fewest items).

You can do this with Legos, toy food items, trains, cars, and more! Any toys that have a color can be added to the box and sorted!

I made this last week and we’ve already played with it three times at my son’s request! I’d say that’s a winner math game activity!
