WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
The sheets go from easier to harder, so early learners and advanced learners can work in the same Valentine's Day 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
► Make a heart garland in a pattern with paper hearts in two colors.
► Turn the pattern into a movement game: hug yourself for heart, blow a kiss for card.
