Find The Pattern Break

Description

Warm up for the Mid-Autumn drawing session with a tiny pattern puzzle. Each person hides one changed mark for the other to find.

What to prep

  • Paper
  • Two pencils
Cost: FreeBest time: AnytimeCreates something to keep

Play guide

  1. 1Draw a row of circles with a small crescent inside each one. In one circle, turn the crescent the opposite way.
  2. 2Your partner finds the odd mark, then draws their own row with one difference for you.
  3. 3Try a second row using dots and short lines. Save any pattern you like for your own drawing later.

Success signals

The child repeats a visible pattern and detects a deliberate difference.

If it's tricky

Drawing crescents is frustrating: use a row of circles with one dot missing instead.
