ABB Pattern with Spring

This Kindergarten worksheet shows an ABB pattern of spring things — the second picture appearing twice for every one of the first — and leaves wagons blank for the child to complete. Working out a three-picture unit where the trailing picture doubles builds deeper pattern-awareness, the rule-finding readiness skill, and keeps a child noticing precisely which element repeats.

An ABB pattern is the mirror of AAB — here the SECOND picture doubles — so the child must read precisely which element repeats. That close pattern-reading is strong Kindergarten readiness, and a doubled-second spring things sequence rehearses it while keeping the task about the rhythm, not about numbers.

Children who catch the ABB beat — one picture, then a doubled second — get sharper at noticing exactly which picture repeats, and a finished train is satisfying, proof that patient, close looking really pays off. When this feels easy, try the pattern in abb pattern with summer, or abb pattern with toys. You can also browse every pattern worksheet or the whole kindergarten collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more doubled-pattern trains a child finishes, the readier they are for longer, four-part patterns that build on these doubled beats, one rung further along.
