Description
Balls, trophies, sneakers, and jerseys line up like a team, and little players call the next move. Two and three year olds name each picture, then glue the matching piece into the empty spot. Perfect for a field day week, a backyard games theme, or gym time tie ins. Easy prep: print, cut the pieces apart, and glue.

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
Every page is built on an AB pattern a 2 or 3 year old can say out loud.
The pattern train starts with only one empty car, so toddlers win right away, then the rows get longer as their confidence grows.
Pictures are large and chosen for strong color and shape contrast, which makes this sports pattern practice easy to see for little learners, including children who need extra visual support.
The teacher guide gives extra support and extra challenge ideas for every group.
MORE WAYS TO PLAY
► Line up real balls and cones in an AB pattern for a mini obstacle course.
► Turn the pattern into a movement game: kick for soccer ball, cheer for trophy.
