ABC Pattern with Reptiles and Amphibians

On this sheet the pattern goes first, second, third — an ABC pattern of three different reptiles like a frog, a snake and a turtle — repeating in order. The child reads the three-part sequence and fills the empty wagons to extend it. Continuing a pattern of three distinct pictures, none repeating within the unit, is foundational Kindergarten patterning, the skill of finding and following a rule.

An ABC pattern is a trio in order: three different pictures, each taking one turn, looping in the same sequence. No picture repeats inside the unit, so a child holds all three and remembers their order. Running a three-different reptiles sequence is a real step into ordered thinking — position matters here, not just repetition.

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 shapes, or abc pattern with thanksgiving. 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.
