Rainbow  
Pocket Chart  
Great for graphing, sorting,  
classifying, or organizing!  
Children often learn abstract concepts through visualization. What better  
way to teach graphing, ordering, and categorizing than with the Rainbow  
Pocket Chart! The chart has been divided into five sections for ease of  
learning: Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple. Each colored section of the  
chart includes two pockets to fill with cards or pictures that help  
represent classification, sorting, and graphing.  
 
Ordering  
Teach a variety of ordering activities, from ordering  
words to creating a sentence to ordering pictures of  
clocks from the beginning of a day to the end of the  
day. Also, use the chart to reinforce paragraph-writing  
skills. Start by writing the following words on cards,  
one word per card, and place them in order in the  
red pocket:  
"Ted was hungry for a turkey sandwich."  
Then, write the following on cards, and mix up the  
words in the appropriate pocket.  
Yellow section: First, he took out the turkey and bread.  
Green: Next, he toasted the bread.  
Blue: Then, he put turkey on the toast.  
Purple: Finally, his sandwich was ready.  
Encourage children to move the words around to create a coherent  
sentence and read the paragraph together as a class when completed.  
Classifying  
Help students classify objects with the Rainbow Pocket Chart. This is  
especially useful in science. For example, you can teach the differences  
among types of animals like birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians,  
and fish.  
Start by writing animal types on cards, one type per card, and place  
each card in its own segment of the Rainbow Pocket Chart. Ask  
students, “What kind of skin outside do reptiles have?” “Do all reptiles  
have this skin?” “Name some examples of reptiles.” Work through each  
category in this manner and explain how animal types differ. Then,  
encourage children to find pictures in magazines of the different kinds of  
animals, cut them out, glue them to cards, and place them in the correct  
category. Students can list the characteristics of each animal on the  
backside of the card.  
Extend this lesson into a social studies activity on the kind of climate  
each type of animal lives in and why.  
Organizing  
The Rainbow Pocket Chart is also useful as an organization tool. The  
pockets are durable to store manipulatives or hall passes. Also, use it  
to display classroom announcements, inform students of upcoming  
projects in each curriculum area, current events, field trips, and student  
names for jobs and tasks.
