The Best Coding Game for Kids
How to make Code Around Town
I created these coding games poster boards so my K-2 students could practice programming in a fun game-type way. I’ve used it with push program robots and block coding. My students love it so much I am working on making different versions. It works best when the students work with a partner or group of three. When students play this game and program their robot, computational skills develop with logical thinking.
