What Comes Next? A logic and pattern game for kids
Logical reasoning
Find the pattern, pick the next piece!
Your child sees a row or grid of shapes with one missing piece and picks the piece that completes the pattern.
This trains fluid reasoning — spotting rules and using them on something new, a key part of logical thinking.
Simple repeating patterns grow into puzzles where two features change at once, with counting, rotating arrows and matrix puzzles at the top levels.
