I use this at my school to send to non-specialists that may have been given an ICT/Computer Science cover at short notice. Just makes sure the lesson is used productively but also places very few demands on the cover teacher.
It has:
A literacy/numeracy and keyword starter.
A brief piece of context.
Links to SIX free online coding games/sites that the students can complete. Each site comes with its own tutorials and explainer videos so most students can access them straight away.
A simple post-it note plenary.
Hope it helps.
