ABC Pattern with Dinosaurs

What comes next when three different pictures repeat? This ABC pattern worksheet sets up a three-picture unit with dinosaurs — three distinct pictures in a fixed order — and the child continues it down the train. Working out a pattern where every element is different, repeating as a trio, is deeper pattern-recognition than two-element or doubled patterns, a foundational Kindergarten readiness skill. The familiar a T. rex, a stegosaurus and a raptor keep the focus on the order.

The ABC unit holds three pictures, all different, in a fixed cycling order. A child continues it by remembering the sequence — not by finding which element doubles, because none does. Practising an ordered dinosaurs trio builds the sequencing skill of keeping several distinct things in their proper order.

Children who can hold the ABC trio in order get quicker at sequencing three different pictures, and finishing an ordered run feels rewarding, a win for a good memory for order. When this feels easy, try the pattern in abc pattern with easter, or abc pattern with forest creatures. You can also browse every pattern worksheet or the whole kindergarten collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more three-in-order patterns a child completes, the stronger their sense of sequence grows — for the days of the week, for counting, and for every ordered list they meet.
