Lucky Charms Graphing: Free Printable Math Activity for Kids

Teach children how to graph with Lucky Charm cereal using our ready-to-use printable graphs.

Turn a bowl full of cereal into a fun and yummy math activity using our free graph printables. Each graph has spots for kids to graph and count Lucky Charm’s marshmallows like rainbows, hearts, clovers, balloons, and even unicorns. Since Lucky Charms goes well with St. Patrick’s Day, you may choose to do it in the month of March but honestly, anytime of year is perfect for math and marshmallows!

My kid’s needed no coaxing to do this math activity. Our homeschool day never looked easier, especially with Little Dragon who LOVES marshmallows. His concentration level was through the roof with the reward of marshmallows AFTER he finished the activity.

TIP: Before handing out the cereal make sure your students know the rules. Math before eating.

If it is a group setting, you may want to have them turn in the cereal used for math throw away the cereal that was used for math because of germs, and will reward them with a bowl of their own for when they have finished.

We placed our graphs in Reusable Dry Erase Pockets so we could do the activity over again. I was glad we could reuse our graphs and save on paper and ink. You could also laminate the graph or print it out as many as you would like. Since my kid’s really liked this activity we did a lot of graphing.

SUPPLIES:

• Lucky Charms Cereal
• Lucky Charms Graph
• Small bowl
• Pencil or dry erase marker
• Reusable Dry Erase Pockets (Optional)

DIRECTIONS:

For your convenience, printable directions are available towards the end of this post.

Download the graphs. Select which graph you want to use. You can choose the graph that matches the characters in your lucky charm box or choose a graph that is blank at the bottom.

If you are using the graph that is blank at the bottom you or your students can draw or write the types of marshmallows in the Charms box. I provided this graph because the people at General Mills like to keep us on our toes and change the marshmallows from year to year.

Optional: As suggested earlier, you may want to place the graph in a Reusable Dry Erase Pocket or laminate it.

Give your child a small bowl of Lucky Charms Cereal.

Have them place one marshmallow at a time on the graph starting towards the bottom of the page on Square 1.

Once completed, have them count how many marshmallows they have in each column and write the number at the bottom in the Total box.
