During 2013-2014, I used visual patterns with my students two days a week as part of our warm-up routine. I shared our "pattern talks" at MathTalks.net. 

One way to assign the patterns...
(By the way, I wrote a post about doing a visual pattern with kids the first time.)
I use Randomizer.org to help me quickly and randomly assign the patterns to students. The generated list can be opened in Excel also. For example, I have 39 students, and I want to assign 2 patterns to each student, but I want each kid to have 3 patterns to choose from. There are currently 111 visual patterns available, so I fill out the form like this:

You could give kids a form like this to fill out:
