How it works

  1. 1

    What the child does

    Looks at each row, spots the rule and draws or writes the piece that comes next.

  2. 2

    How it's checked

    The child colours every cell in the grid that matches an answer. If the answers are right, the coloured cells form a picture.

  3. 3

    Why it works

    The pattern doesn't stop at the blank. Every answer gets used again, so a wrong guess shows in the picture.
