Description
A FUN Valentine's Day activity that integrates coding and language arts!
Providing students the opportunity to learn computer science skills and concepts through unplugged coding activities helps to build students' self-efficacy toward computer science and works toward building a stronger and deeper foundation for when plugged activities are introduced.
This resource provides students the opportunity to follow and write code while learning the steps to make a Valentine.
How to Play:
1. Pick two students.
- One will be the programmer (the person that gives the commands to the robot, lays the command cards on the mat).
- One will be the robot (the person placed on the "Start Here", following the directions of the programmer - this is my favorite part, watching them add the robot moves (-:).
- I also purchased a robot costume for the robot to wear, super cute!!
2. I continue to have different students be the programmer and robot.
Ideas for use:
Whole Group
Small-Group
Paired Programming
Center Work
Resource includes:
5 Follow the Code
5 Write the Code
16 Large Shape Images
12 Task Cards
6 Large Command Cards - Printed in black/white - I use colored cardstock to differentiate
