Pattern Beads on Pipecleaner

Give the students pipecleaners and beads and tell them to make a pattern. I use pipecleaners because they are stiff and it's easy for the students to put the beads on it. If you have enough supplies you can turn it into a bracelet and let them take it home. I didn't have enough for everyone, so I let them wear it as a bracelet at school that day, but they had to give it back when school was over.

Bear Patterns

I gave each student a bear printable like the one below and some crayons and told them to make a pattern. They use the crayons to color the bears in a pattern. Each line is a different pattern. To make this easier, you can color the first two bears in each line and tell them to finish the pattern.

Lego Patterns

Students use legos to copy the pattern on the card.
