Description
Santa, reindeer, trees, and stockings line up for the busiest season of the year, and every row hides a rule for kids to crack. Children continue each sequence, write its letter code, swap pictures for letters, and catch the error before it slips by. Print and go with 50 black and white Christmas pages and a one page teacher guide. No prep for you: just print and go.

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
The sheets go from easier to harder, so early learners and advanced learners can work in the same Christmas theme at the same time.
Kindergarten and 1st grade students move from repeating patterns to naming them with letters, translating them, finding mistakes, growing patterns, and number patterns.
Name the Pattern and Find the Mistake give you a quick check of who understands the pattern rule.
MORE WAYS TO PLAY
► Decorate a paper tree with ornament stickers in a pattern.
► Turn the pattern into a movement game: jingle like a bell, prance like a reindeer.
