Need a no prep winter one-page craft for after winter break? This cute Hot Chocolate Code a Craft is easy, engaging, and exposes elementary students to beginning coding concepts and domain-specific technology vocabulary, too! And it's perfect for a January bulletin board in the computer lab or classroom!

This is an unplugged, printable, craft - no coding or tech needed!

What's Included:

• 1 student direction page with directions written in a block code style
• 1 Hot Cocoa poem featuring coding & tech vocabulary

How Does it Work?

4. Students complete the writing prompt.
