Activity
In small groups, get each maker to choose a different coloured paper.
Tell your makers to cut their paper into strips and take turns adding a link to a chain to make a repeating pattern.
After five minutes, get the groups to swap their chains with another group, who must spot the pattern being used.
Build on this
Get the other group to continue the pattern they think the first group used on the chain.
