Here are some amazing offline coding games and activities to try right now with your kids. They will help your children learn about binary code, building algorithms, and so much more. You will be amazed at how much even your young children will learn about coding as they explore these coding games.
Coding Games for Kids
Building Algorithms Based on Children’s Books
Your children can sequence the events from children’s books that you read to them or they read on their own. Then they can use one of the algorithm sheets I have created to connect the events by drawing arrows in the empty boxes connecting the effects. They will learn about using the commands up, down, left and right.
