Rainbow Bear Kindergarten Graphing Activities
We LOVE Rainbow Bears!! And I am so excited to bring our love for Rainbow bears to these new kindergarten graphing activities for Google Slides. This count and graph Google Slides activity is a fun way to learn about graphing with your kids. And what better theme than the long-treasured rainbow bears?
Recommended Grade Level:
Rainbow bears were probably the very first math manipulative that I ever bought. We have used them SO many ways over the 13 years that we’ve been doing preschool and kindergarten level activities at our house. From sorting colors with my oldest daughter to this new graphing activity with my youngest daughter they have definitely been our MOST used math manipulative.
Check out some of the awesome Rainbow Bear themed Activities for Kindergarten and Preschool here on Life Over C’s.

Graphing for Kindergarten
What Skills Does this Kindergarten Graphing Activity Cover?
Well, the obvious answer would be, “Graphing.”
But beyond graphing this Google Slides activity covers the following skills:
- Sorting by color
- Interpreting the data
- Organizing data on a graph
- Using the terms “most” and “least”
- Counting
Additional Graphing Ideas for Kindergarten
Kindergarteners are naturally curious and it’s easy to use that curiosity to learn about graphing.
Start by drawing a graph on a paper, choose a topic to research like favorite drink, favorite color, type of pet or something similar that the kids are interested.
Then, have them ask friends or family members to answer the question and record the data on their graph.
You can also make use of these printable graphing activities:
- Fruit Themed Graphing Game
- Colored Shoe Graphing Game (perfect for Pete the Cat lovers!)
- Australian Animal Graphing
- 2D Shape Graphing Game

Then, you can send the files to your students!
The kids can open the file and start using the activity right away. It will open in ‘edit’ format and should stay that way. If the ‘present’ button is accidentally clicked, the file will not be interactive and must be switched back to ‘edit’ mode.
