Debug the Directions
Unplugged Coding and Problem Solving Activity (Grades 6–8)
Description:
Help your students build computational thinking skills with this unplugged debugging challenge! Students practice identifying logical and sequencing errors in everyday “algorithms” like brushing teeth and making a sandwich — then rewrite them correctly. Perfect for introducing debugging, algorithms, and problem-solving without needing computers!
Includes:
✅ Teacher Guide with objectives, instructions, and vocabulary
✅ Student Worksheet (2 parts: Debug & Create)
✅ Answer Key
✅ Optional extension activity for peer debugging
Use For:
