Recall vocabulary associated with game coding.
2. Determine actions that will connect imputes events in a program or game. 
3. Categorize actions necessary for simple game creation. 
4. Design an animated, interactive game using sequence, loops, and algorithms.]]> 2019-10-18 20:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jcoving5/ss7v5iejvo9t/wish/399731754 Vocabulary jcoving5 https://padlet.com/jcoving5/ss7v5iejvo9t/wish/399738565 1. Sequence: a set of coding steps performed in a certain order
2. Algorithm: a sequence of directions used in code that tells a computer how to perform a task
3. Loop: a repeating step in an algorithm
4. Debug: a step-by-step process used to solve problems in an algorithm

In this quick activity, students will follow simple directions to move around the room to gain a better understanding of the lessons vocabulary and to see it in action. 
  • To begin the activity, have students stand around the room with plenty of space between each other. 
  • Once students are spread out around the room, begin to call out movements such as turn left/right, take one step forward/backwards, repeat step 2, etc. in order to familiarize themselves with the vocabulary. 
  • If a student misses a step, then have them debug and see where they went wrong and have them correct it. This activity can last as long as necessary and can be altered to fit the students learning level. 
  • If students are grasping the concept quickly, it can be altered to have students move around the school, following a teacher-directed algorithm, in order to get to a particular location in the school.

  • In this activity, students will use the Code.org website and link provided to work through a whole lesson on coding a game. 
  • Students may work at their own pace, working independently on using the lesson provided to reach the goals and learning objectives outlined in the beginning of the lesson. 
  • Questions should be directed to the teacher.
