Venn diagram maker — 2 or 3 circles, printable, free

A Venn diagram maker for the classroom: name two or three circles, type the items for each part, and the diagram is drawn for you. Print it filled in to explain a topic, or as a sorting worksheet: the circles stay empty, all items appear shuffled in a word bank, and students write each one in the right place. An answer key with the completed diagram comes on its own page. Use it to compare and contrast characters, animals, shapes, countries or numbers.

  2. 2Type the items for each part, one per line.
  3. 3Print the filled diagram, or the sorting sheet with a word bank and an answer key.

Questions teachers ask

Is the Venn diagram maker free?

You can try it free without an account. After a few uses a free Edform teacher account keeps it unlimited, with no credit card.

Can I make a blank Venn diagram?

Yes. Leave the items empty and print, or keep the sorting-sheet option on to print empty circles with your items in a word bank.

Can it do 3 circles?

Yes. Three circles have seven parts plus “outside all circles”, and each part gets its own box in the form.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. The sorting sheet comes with a second page showing the completed diagram. “Another version” shuffles the word bank.

Can students sort items online?

Yes, in Edform: sorting and matching questions let students drag items into groups on their own devices, and they check themselves.
