4 circle Venn diagram template

Most “4 circle” templates online are drawn with four circles and quietly miss two combinations. This one uses four ellipses, so every one of the 15 regions is present.

Questions people ask

Can I print this template?

Yes. Download the PDF in US Letter or A4. Page 1 is lightly coloured and page 2 is plain outlines, which uses less ink and photocopies well. Both have Name and Date lines for classroom use.

Why does this template use ovals instead of circles?

Four circles can make at most 13 of the 15 regions a four-set Venn diagram needs. Ellipses can cross each other more often, so four of them can show every combination.
