Printable bar graph templates
Blank bar graphs to print and fill in by hand: a title line, name and date, a grid with a zero baseline, and lines for every label. Each prints on its own page.
Prefer to type the numbers? The bar graph maker draws it for you, and you can print that too.
How to fill one in
- Title: what you counted, of whom, and when.
- Labels: write one category on each line along the bottom (or down the side on the horizontal template).
- Scale: find your biggest number and choose a step so it fits. With 10 lines and a biggest value of 18, count by 2s: 2, 4, 6… up to 20. Always start at 0.
- Bars: draw each bar up to its value, all the same width, with gaps between them.
- Axis titles: what the categories are along the bottom, and what the numbers count up the side.
For a double bar graph, colour one group’s bars and leave the other’s shaded or striped, and fill in the key at the top right.
