Playing with patterns helps children make sense of our patternrich world, laying the foundation for math, science, music, art,
and even storytelling. Have fun with patterning by assembling
your own dinosaur train at home. All aboard!
Cyberchas
ch
• Build and complete patterns
• Predict an item in a sequence
If your child is ready, try more complex patterns,
such as AABB or ABCABC. For older children try
patterns with other characteristics, such as big
and small; or spikes, wings, and plates.

dinosaurs. Find them online at:

Build Your Train
1. Line up chairs or cushions as train cars—first the
train engine, then the cars, and finally the caboose.
2. Use the dinosaur cut-outs to create a simple AB pattern, placing
a dinosaur in each car. For example: T.rex (A), Pteranodon (B),
T.rex (A), Pteranodon (B), T.rex (A), what comes next?
Invite your child to select the next dinosaur in the pattern.
3. Help your child see the pattern. Point out the alternating colors,
or say the dinosaur names in order in a rhythmic way.
4. Switch roles, and allow your child to build a passenger pattern
for you to complete.

Construir tu tren
1. Haga una línea de sillas o cojines como si fueran vagones de un tren —
primero la locomotora, luego los vagones y por último el cabús.
2. Utilice los recortes de dinosaurio para crear un patrón sencillo de AB,
colocando un dinosaurio en cada vagón. Por ejemplo: T.rex (A),
Pteranodón (B), T.rex (A), Pteranodón (B), T.rex (A), ¿qué sigue?
Pídale a su hijo que seleccione el siguiente dinosaurio del patrón.
3. Ayude a su hijo a ver el patrón. Señale los colores alternados,
o decir los nombres de dinosaurio en orden de manera rítmica.
4. Intercambien roles, y permita que su niño elabore un patrón
de pasajeros para que usted lo complete.
