- Activity to remix: Beautiful Symmetry
- Remix Strategy: Games over Garbage
- Materials: Paper, scissors, pen, Beautiful Symmetry Zine, paper punches

Use pieces of paper to create patterns with rules. Try different rules and see what different patterns emerge! Make it a game by adding in movements.

Example 1: In this example,

- Rule 1: Start with 5 columns, all green squares
- Rule 2: Replace every 4th square with pink!
- Rule 3: Put a cow on every 7th square
