Hand a six-year-old a row of beads and ask for the next one, and many will copy the last bead they see. Finding the rule behind a row takes a different kind of looking. This 1st grade repeating color patterns worksheet asks for that looking twelve times. Each row lines up hearts, stars, triangles or pentagons in two colors, and the colors repeat in a set order. Some rows simply take turns, like blue and orange pentagons. Others repeat in groups, such as two green triangles and one brown. At the end of each row, the child circles one of two shapes to show what comes next. A second page gives the answer key.
