AB Pattern with Camping Gear

On this Kindergarten pattern sheet, camping gear repeat two-by-two in an AB pattern — one picture, then another, then the first again — and the child places pictures in the blank wagons to extend it. Reading that two-part repeat and predicting the next picture is early patterning, the core readiness skill of finding and following a rule. Familiar pictures like a tent, a torch and a backpack keep the focus on the alternating pattern.

Recognizing that two pictures alternate, then continuing the rhythm, trains a child to spot order and regularity in what they see. That is genuine Kindergarten readiness, the patterning skill that supports so much early learning, and a simple AB repeat of camping gear makes it approachable. There is nothing to count — just the rule to find and follow.

Children who get the hang of the AB back-and-forth start predicting the next picture at a glance, and finishing a clean alternating train feels satisfying, a small and clear early win. When this feels easy, try the pattern in ab pattern with christmas, or ab pattern with desserts and sweets. You can also browse every pattern worksheet or the whole kindergarten collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more two-part patterns a child completes, the readier they are for patterns where a picture starts to double — the natural next step up the ladder.
