Step 1: Let's Learn
Read it, or press Listen and follow the words.
The repeating part
In red, blue, red, blue, the repeating part is red then blue. That little piece is the whole pattern.
How to find the repeating part
Look for where it starts over. When you see red again after blue, the piece before it was the repeat.
It can be longer than two
Red, red, blue, red, red, blue. The repeating part is three things this time. Patterns are not always a swap.
