Beads go red, blue, red, blue, red, blue. They slide apart so a frame can go round each red, blue part that repeats, then the first red jumps to the empty space, because the part starts again, and the row is read through to check. The same steps work for a circle, square, triangle shape pattern and a clap, stomp sound pattern, and the video ends with the recap "Find the part that repeats."
