Rainbow 2027 Calendar

This rainbow 2027 calendar gives every month its own bright header, from red in January and orange in February to gold in March and green in April. The full year fits on one cheerful page, and the free PDF is easy to print at home. It adds a pop of color to a kitchen, a classroom or a child's bedroom.

Color does a useful job here too. Your eye learns that March is gold and June is blue, so finding a month gets faster the longer you use it.

Who will love this calendar

Kids enjoy having a calendar that looks fun, and it can help them learn the months in order. Teachers can use it on a classroom wall for morning meetings, since the colors make it easy to point out the current month. Anyone who loves bright design will enjoy it in a home office, where most things are gray and black.

It is also a good gift. Print it on card stock, put it in a frame and hand it to a friend who needs a little cheer in January.

The science of color

Color affects how we feel, though people react in different ways. Warm reds and oranges tend to feel lively. Cool blues and greens tend to feel calm. Bright colors also grab attention, and that is why many teachers use color coding to help students sort and remember facts.

There is a real reason for the order of a rainbow, too. Sunlight is made of many colors, and water drops bend each color by a slightly different amount. That spreads the light into bands, with red on the outside. You can read about it on Wikipedia.

Color by month for kids

Young children can use this page for a simple game. Ask which month has their birthday, then find the color. Ask what the weather is like in that month, or what they like to do then. Older kids can count how many days are in each month, and they may be surprised to see how the lengths change. Use the old knuckle trick to remember which months have 31 days.

Printing tips

This page uses more ink than our plain designs, so choose a good color setting on your printer. Letter paper at 100 percent scale is the right setting. For A4 paper, pick the setting that fits the page to the sheet. White paper keeps the colors brightest. Card stock gives a rich look and holds up well on a wall all year long.

A rainbow 2027 calendar for the classroom

Morning meeting gets easier with a bright page on the wall. Use the rainbow 2027 calendar to ask simple questions. What month is it? What color is it? How many days until the next holiday? Young students love to be the one who points.

Older students can use it for math. Count the days between two dates, or find how many Mondays are in a month. They can also graph the class birthdays by month, using one colored square for each child. July or January may win.

Keep it low on the wall. Little ones should be able to reach it, and they will.
