Description
FUN activities to teach and reinforce coding and computational thinking vocabulary while students have fun! Help your students master important vocabulary terms! Students love to code and need to acquire computer science terms to master computer science.
If you teach coding or computer science to elementary students, you know how necessary but tricky learning coding vocabulary is. Robotics and coding games are incredibly engaging. Students are creating algorithms, loops, conditionals, changing variables, and debugging in real time to make a bot or character do what they want.
To demonstrate true understanding of coding, students also need to name what they are doing. When they can name it, they then make more deliberate programming decisions.
AFTER downloading this resource you’ll get:
⭐ I Have…Who Has… game that students play as they learn coding vocabulary. Also a great way for students to practice their listening skills.
⭐ Fill in the blank worksheets for students to match the term to the definition.
⭐ Cut & paste matching activities for students to match the coding term with the definition.
⭐ Coding Vocabulary Cards that are great for your word wall.
⭐ Matching card game. One card has the coding term and the other has the definition. You can choose if students play with the text version only or text and images.
⭐ Poster that shows all of the coding terms and relates them to images to help students remember the definition.
⭐ Coding song that helps students learn coding vocabulary.
Coding Vocabulary Matching Game → match the definition to the coding term.
Drag & drop matching activities for students to match the coding term with the definition.
YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE HOW QUICKLY STUDENTS LEARN CORRECT CODING TERMS AND THEIR ABILITY TO APPLY THE LANGUAGE IN CODING SITUATIONS.
YOUR STUDENTS ARE GOING TO LOVE HOW FUN IT IS TO LEARN PROPER CODING TERMINOLOGY.
This activity addresses CSTA and ISTE standards:
