You can use the unplugged lessons alone or as part of the series of lessons.
#GAMES UNPLUGGED OFFLINE#
Here are three offline lesson plans that are part of an Introduction to Computer Science on.
Uses a decision tree and binary numbers.Ĩ – 9. Pick a number and have kids try to guess it. This 20 Questions Variation is called 20 Guesses and is an unplugged coding game that introduces information theory.
#GAMES UNPLUGGED CODE#
This is a great way to get kids to understand that each line of code must be very specific and tells the computer exactly what it must do.ħ.
Yup! The programmer has to get the “robot” to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The CS Unplugged channel has other ideas to try as well.Ħ. For The Orange Game you will need a small group of people to play. Age recommendations start at 9 (but use your own judgment.) Covers: representing information, algorithms, and representing procedures.ĥ. Computer Science in a Box is a group of offline coding activities with printable sheets and simple instructions. Sounds like some great action-packed learning.Ĥ. In this case it is having them jump, grab, squat, drop and move. Similar is style to the Tinkersmith game above you write a program for your “robot” to follow. Kodable has a FuzzFamily Frenzy game to play. In this Unplugged Cup Stacking Coding Game you will need a few people to do play, as one person serves as the “robot” and others do the programming.ģ. Tinkersmith has a neat coding with cups activity for kids that only requires plastic cups, their free printable cards, and writing materials. and they will love that they get to build with LEGO.Ģ. It can be adapted to different levels of play so multiple ages can play. LEGO Coding Unplugged! If you have a LEGO fan, this is the game for you. This is especially true in the activities where you are writing code for another person to follow.ġ. What I like about these unplugged coding games is that you can really see why each line of code is important. While I don’t have an issue with my son begin on the computer and certainly feel that he learns a lot while on it, I think it is important to do a lot of reading and a lot of hands-on activities as well.Īdding some offline coding activities to your learning experience is going to be great. We all try to find a balance when it comes to screen time. I really like the hands-on approach for my son and find that many kids tend to learn very well that way as well. I was so excited to find that there are plenty of offline, unplugged coding games to play. All opinions are my own and I share things I think would be of interest to boys.

Oh, and, do you know what fruit, turtles, peanut butter and jelly, treasure maps, monsters and beads have to do with coding? Keep reading to find out! My son and I have tried a few different coding activities from our Homeschool Unit Study Coding Series and I can tell you it has been a lot of fun. It’s true! You really can introduce coding without using a computer. Did you know that an awesome way to teach kids to code is with unplugged coding activities?
