A playful, screen-free introduction to computer science for kids!
Kickstart your learner’s STEM journey with this 4-page Intro to Coding Activity Packet, designed for Grades K–5. This cheerful, hands-on resource teaches foundational coding skills—like sequencing, debugging, commands, loops, and algorithms—through age-appropriate, engaging activities. Perfect for beginners and non-readers alike.
🧡 What’s Included (4 Pages):
1️⃣ Arrow Coding — Robot Path Map
Kids help the robot reach the object by drawing arrows and writing a simple “code” underneath. Builds early algorithmic thinking.
2️⃣ Sequencing — Put the Steps in Order
Two life-skills sequences to arrange (1–4):
• Growing a Flower
• Making a Sandwich
Supports understanding of “first, next, then, last.”
3️⃣ Coding Vocabulary — Trace + Learn
Traceable words plus kid-friendly definitions:
debug, loop, command, code, test, order
4️⃣ Debugging Practice — Find the Mistake
Students compare the robot’s path to the engineer’s code and circle the incorrect direction. Strengthens logic and attention to detail.
🤖 Perfect For:
Homeschool STEM lessons
Early computer science instruction (screen-free!)
Classroom centers or rotations
Morning work or early finisher tasks
Critical thinking & problem-solving enrichment
K–5 STEM units or Coding Week
