How to Play
About the game: Pattern Pals is a color-and-shape reasoning workout for grades 1-3. Learners decode repeating patterns, spot missing beats, and explain the rule that keeps the parade marching in order.
How it works: Every round shows a new 6-step sequence with one space missing. Read the board from left to right, decide what the missing tile should be, and click your answer from the choice bank. Correct picks earn badges while the progress bar shows how close players are to completing the full set.
Skills & next steps: Kids practice analyzing repeating units (AB, ABB, ABC), describing multiple attributes (color, outline, texture), and justifying their thinking. Ask them to invent a new rule for the same sequence or to build a longer run on paper. After kids master the parade, steer them toward Build Polyominoes for more spatial reasoning or Counting Stars for a quick math fact cooldown.
