Grouping by Color in the Classroom

Many teachers strive for a well-organized classroom! There are several ways to organize, and one of those ways is with color. Whether you choose shades of the same color, or a rainbow, you and your students will love the stylish organization that it brings to the room! If you’re looking for a more muted look, try black with a pop of different colors.

Grouping by Color

There are a variety of ways to color-code, and here are a few:

Color-Code Students

Give each table or grouping of students a color. This makes staying organized a breeze!

You can go as in-depth as you want, or as simple as you want. Simply color-coding your tables or groups makes line-up or coming to the carpet easy. Instead of calling on individual students, you can simply say, “Red group line up.”

Additionally, organizing by color helps students know where to return materials and which materials are theirs, and gives them some needed independence while helping you maintain a well-run classroom. Here are some great products that will help you:

Color-Code by Subject

Give each subject a different color. This will keep you organized, as well as the students. When it’s time for a subject to start, students will automatically know what to look for! During math time, students can grab their math folder or you can grab a basket with the math materials.

  • Reading Genre
