HOW CAN THEY BE USED?

Once you have your pack of cards you can easily use them at any time you want. You can use them in so many ways…

• As a starter or plenary
• To give your pupils more practice during a lesson
• To give to quick finishers
• To help lower ability pupils reinforce the key skills

.
To use them you can either allocate particular cards to pupils or allow them to pick a random card from the deck themselves. Your students then create the program and can test it out on a classmate.

The beauty of this activity is because all the pupils are working on different tasks their classmates will not know the answers and are often delighted by the silly and humorous responses they get from the computer.

Once students have one program working correctly they can pick another card which keeps the entire class fully engaged allowing you to focus on helping the students who need your one-to-one help.

An exciting and easy classroom activity to reinforce key programming skills.
