Games/Pattern Picnic

Game guide

Continue five repeating colour-and-shape sequences sampled from twelve reviewed pattern families.

Suggested age: Ages 4–7
Practice: Recognise and continue simple patterns
Pace: Untimed
Controls: Keyboard, Touch
Reading: A short instruction and labelled help
Instruction help: Show the repeating part outlines one complete pattern unit in every round. Spoken instructions are not included.

Study the colour-and-shape sequence, choose what comes next, then use Next round.

Help marks the repeating unit. A grown-up can name the symbols from left to right if the pattern is hard to spot.

Patterns combine colour and shape, but the visual sequence may still need adult description for some players.
