“Coding” a Book
Have children sequence and then retell
familiar stories using different colored
beads/block/garland to represent
characters or events in the book.

“Coding” a Secret Handshake
Children use decomposition and
sequencing as they create a secret
handshake using a sequence of 3 defined
movements, use a symbol to represents an
action within a sequence, and explore the
computational concept of repetition (loops).
“Coding” with Block Patterns
Children use their understanding
of the following computational
skills and actions: directional
language, sequencing, pattern
recognition and algorithms as they
create a mini block tower.
