    Week 1 of the planning overview introduces themes of logical thinking and problem solving through games and activities. On the first day, students will be introduced and play name games to get to know each other. They will then be split into groups to solve clue-based activities involving code cracking, connecting dots, and solving anagrams to reveal a message. In the afternoon, students will write out and diagram their daily routines, then try to improve the sequences. Finally, an activity will have students program movements to pick up objects, linking it to coding concepts.
