Halloween Coding for Kindergarten, teacher notes, 17pgs

This is a resource to introduce young students to the world of coding.

Coding is an essential skill in the digital curriculum for 21st Century learners.

Coding is the ability to create instructions that allow a set of actions to be carried out.

This resource gives an opportunity to expose pre-school (and early elementary) students to the world of coding with the format used in the user friendly coding app Scratch Jr.

The resource doesn’t require a device or access to the internet. Students can cut and past the missing pieces of code into a blank box sequence to achieve the desired outcome on the worksheet.

There are two ways this resource can be used;

1. As a cut and paste worksheet. There are 5 different Halloween themed coding worksheets, with answers.

2. As a reusable independent learning centre activity. There are 5 activity cards and a set of ‘coding blocks’ to cut out and laminate. These can all be kept in a tray or container and the students can then take the activity and work with it.

This resource comes with;
5 activity worksheets
Answer sheets
5 activity cards (card versions of the worksheets)
1 set of 15 ‘coding blocks’
