About the venn diagram

A Venn diagram is the go-to graphic organizer for comparing two or three things — book characters, animals, historical events, shapes, or science concepts. Students write what is unique to each item in the outer parts of the circles and what they share in the overlap.

This blank template prints on standard US Letter paper with large circles that give kids room to write. The 2-circle version is the classic compare-and-contrast layout; the 3-circle version works when you are comparing three items at once. Both are free, with no watermark and no account required.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Venn diagram compares two or more things by showing what they have in common (the overlapping area) and what is unique to each (the outer areas). It is widely used for compare-and-contrast writing, reading comprehension, math sets, and science classification.
Use a 2-circle diagram to compare two things — the most common classroom use. Use a 3-circle diagram when you need to compare three items and see how each pair, and all three together, overlap.
Download the PDF and set your printer to "Actual Size" or 100% (not "Fit to Page") so the circles keep their proportions. Any home or school printer works.
