It’s the 15th of the month, and I have some rainbow activities using free rainbow printables … perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any rainbow-themed unit! Here, I’m sharing the links to lots of free rainbow printables for preschoolers through 1st graders (and sometimes older).
Some of the rainbow printables are in packs specifically related to rainbows while others are part of St. Patrick’s Day or other printable packs.
Rainbow Floor Numbers (perfect for large-motor fun and learning on a rainy day)
Free Printable: Rainbow Floor Numbers from PreK Letter R Printables at Confessions of a Homeschooler. (Those numbers are no longer available as a free download, but you might like the free rainbow numbers 1-30 by Miss Liss Wheeels at TPT.)
The tray for this activity (and each activity in my post today) is a Montessori Services large plastic tray.
This activity is VERY easy to prepare. I simply printed out and laminated the rainbow floor numbers. They could be placed on the floor where you call out numbers for your child or students to jump to. They could also be used for a traditional hopscotch game played indoors with stones or glass gems for markers. They would make a fun giant-size number line, too.
Rainbow Letter Rr Puzzle
This activity uses the free Rainbow Letter Rr Puzzle from Romping and Roaring R Pack (part 6) at 3 Dinosaurs. The Romping and Roaring R Pack is filled with rainbow activities. This one is a simple letter puzzle that can be printed twice for younger children as shown with a control chart and the puzzle pieces to be placed on top.
Older children would only need the individual puzzle pieces. For any letter activities, I always emphasize the phonetic sound (/r/ for rainbow) rather than the letter name.
Rr is for Rainbow Magnet Activity and Chalkboard Writing
This activity uses the Rainbow Do-a-Dot (Bingo Dauber) Printable from DLTK’s Crafts for Kids. I used the Melissa & Doug Magnetic Chalk Dry Erase Board and Power Magnets.
You can use a baking sheet for magnet activities, although I like that this is more attractive and has the option of writing the words on the chalkboard. The child can also trace over the words on the laminated page with an erasable marker.
Rainbow Ride CVC Phonics Game
Free Printable: Rainbow Ride CVC Game by Sara Edgar’s account at Teachers Pay Teachers is no longer available, but you can find the printable here.
This activity is simple to prepare but is a great way to reinforce introductory reading work.
