Connect Four is one of my FAV-OR-ITE games! Especially because I grew up an only child and it’s SO easy to play this by yourself (it’s funner in a group, but you can absolutely play it solo too!)
And these summer kawaii characters are UBER cute! You’re gonna love playing this Summer Four-in-a-Row Game! 😍
Best of all, if you don’t have dice on hand, no probs! I gotcha covered. You can grab a free printable dice template below the printable in the how to play section. 😊
This roll and color summer game is perfect for:
- Summer family game night
- Classroom centers
- Homeschool brain breaks
- Summer camp printable for whole cabin fun
- Road trips and travel folders
- Restaurant wait time fun
- Summer classroom game (maybe summer school?)
- Pool break downtime (think: poolside printable activity)
- End of school year activity

How to Play This Summer Connect Four Printable
- Print the summer dice game for kids game sheet
- Each player picks a different color
- Take turns rolling one die (don’t have one? No problem! Here’s a free printable dice template!!) 🥰
- Find the matching number on the key at the bottom of the page
- Color one square that matches that image
- Keep taking turns until someone gets four in a row across, up and down, or diagonally
- Want to play solo? Set a timer and see how fast your child can complete one four in a row game
Whale Splash and Sun Stretch
Want to get the kiddos moving this summer (think: summer homeschool activity, for example)? Every time someone lands on the whale, do a big whale splash with your arms. Every time someone lands on the sun, stand up tall and do a sunshine stretch. ☀️
Beach Story Builder
After the game is over, use all six images to make up a silly summer story together. The floatie hippo met a whale, dropped his ice cream, found his flip flops, and raced a beach ball under the sun. Kids love using their imaginations like this! 🥰
Whale Splash Zone
Set up a sprinkler or pool for a quick whale splash break after finishing the whole board.
Beach Ball Toss
Use a real beach ball to play a quick game of catch every time someone rolls a six.
• Other printables are either functional OR cute. I bridge the gap between the two. Since I'm a single mom and don't have time to mess around and am a kid at heart, I love something that actually propels me forward and gets the job done quickly, while still having that super cute vibe I'm known for.
• I'm a graphic designer FIRST. This means my printables, whether free or paid for, will always be of the highest quality and print crisp and clear on any printer.
• I love what I do and I do the work myself. I'm not hiring these out. This is my life, my hobby, my passion, my heart.
• My fans are obsessed with my work. To date, I've made over $23M on printables alone (organically) in the past 8 years.
Yes! Except for some large binders, all printables on the blog are 100% free for personal use. I make these because I genuinely want you to have something cute and helpful right now without having to spend a dime. You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, more organized, and more you, and if a simple printable can make your day feel lighter, I am so happy to give that to you.

Absolutely! You're welcome to print as many copies as you need for your own students or church groups.

• For best results, I recommend using standard 8.5"x11" white paper. Since these are professionally designed as high-resolution PDFs, they'll stay crisp and clear on any printer. To print, simply download the PDF to your device and open your printer settings. Select "Fit to Page" to ensure the printable looks perfect.
