Introducing coding and algorithms to early learners can be FUN and include real world connections.
👇🏼 PREVIEW WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THIS ACTIVITY.
Products Included in this Bundle:
Why teach coding through routines? Coding is an abstract concept, which means our young students need concrete ways to understand it. Routines are ingrained throughout our daily lives; especially young children. Using daily routines helps them make connections to an abstract concept and build a concrete understanding.
This resource delivers that for budding programmers. It helps them look at their everyday routines through a coding lens. And they begin to think like a programmer who writes meaningful algorithms.
Additional perks to these activities are that you can differentiate for your students, give them choice in their learning, and repeated use!
💜 You’re students will love these activities because they are familiar with the featured everyday activities. They also love being able to move pieces around while they manipulate their line of code.
💜 You will love these activities because while your students are learning about writing algorithms, they are also practicing sequencing, logical thinking, and reflecting on daily routines.

AFTER downloading this resource you’ll get:
🖥️ Standards Based Lesson that walks you through how to introduce coding algorithms to really young students. Standards are listed below.
🖥️ Directions and tips for using the activities.
🖥️ Code a Perfect Day Draw & Color → students draw an algorithm of what they would do during their most perfect day
🖥️ Code a Perfect Day Cut & Paste → students cut out pictures and paste them in the order they’d do during their most perfect day
🖥️ Code a Perfect Day Sort → students manipulate activities to put them in the order they’d complete them during their most perfect day
🖥️ Code a Perfect Day Drag & Drop → digital activity for students to write an algorithm that depicts their most perfect day. Digital activities are created for Google™ and Seesaw™
🖥️ 2 Reflection sheets for learners of different writing capabilities.
Digital Drag & Drop, sorting, & cut & paste activities are included for the other routines that students are familiar with:
