Teach Coding Concepts with Play
This set is a simple resource for allowing children to discover patterns used in coding and put them into practice before using a coding robot such as the Bee-Bot®.
The red tiles included are blank and can be arranged in a grid, maze, or line, allowing the children to plan their own course to reach their destination. Cards included feature directions in word and picture form, so the children can plan and then follow the route, referring back to each direction. The cards can help the children remember and self-correct at any wrong turn. Brick wall cards are included to provide obstacles to navigate around – these can be placed anywhere.
Extend the Learning
Add engagement by creating stories about the route and adding characters or links to the world around us with physical items at the destination. Discuss where they come from and what transport would be needed to get there.
