ABCC Pattern Worksheet 20
Pattern recognition like this is an early building block behind later math and reading skills — spotting that a sequence follows a rule, and predicting what comes next, is a genuinely different task from copying a shape.
This worksheet repeats one icon sequence a few times and then leaves the next few spots blank — the child has to notice the rule behind the pattern and continue it correctly, rather than tracing something that's already fully drawn.
If this pattern type feels too easy or too hard, the hub page above groups every pattern by the age it's typically introduced at, from simple two-icon alternation through more complex kindergarten-level sequences.
Frequently asked questions
The page shows a repeating sequence of icons — the same rule repeated a few times — and then leaves the next few spots blank. The child has to spot the rule and draw or write what comes next, not just trace something that's already there.

Every icon on this site was checked against a grayscale render before being used, so the pattern still reads clearly on a plain black-and-white printer, not just on a screen or a color printer.
Pattern types on this site are grouped by the age range they're typically introduced at, from simple AB alternation (Pre-K, ages 3-4) up through multi-item and symmetrical sequences (Kindergarten, ages 5-6) — this page's specific pattern is labeled with its stage on the hub above.
