Flip & Find: Patterns is an engaging game that will allow your students to demonstrate their understanding of patterns.

Students will flip cards with different types of patterns represented by images. The patterns included are:

1. AB
2. ABB
3. ABA
4. AAB
5. AABB
6. ABC

This activity is suitable for individuals, partners or small groups. Each player will need a game board, 6 counters and a set of pattern game cards to share.

Students will take turns to flip a pattern card and identify the pattern. They will look for a pattern on the game board that matches the card. If they find a match, they must say the pattern aloud. We recommend encouraging students to also say the next images that would appear if the pattern was to continue. If they are correct, they can cover the pattern on their board with a counter. The first player to cover their board with counters is the winner!
