Description

This is a computer science STEM activity. In it students will practice programing skills without a computer. In this coding activity, students create a set of commands to move a frog across the lily pads on a small pond. Can they get across? Can they do it in as few moves as possible? This is a fun way for students to learn about and practice the skill of "sequencing."

This is also a great activity for "An Hour of Code" with young students.

If you enjoy this activity, check out the full version. There are more activity boards and resources to make it a life-sized activity:

Frog Programing: Level 1 Sequences - A STEM Coding Activity

Or try this activity with a Polar Theme:

Polar Programing: Level 1 Sequences - A STEM Coding Activity

To extend students coding skill more, see these activities:

Frog Programing: Level 2 Loops - A STEM Coding Activity

Frog Programing: Level 3 Selection - A STEM Coding Activity

I uploaded these challenges into SMART Notebook and had my students take turns dragging the arrows and the frog. This was engaging lesson and they absolutely loved it.
