Code Builders Bundle
Original price was: $29.50.$23.60Current price is: $23.60.
Teach students how to follow and decompose algorithms with these Code Builder digital activities. 2 types of digital activities ask students to follow an algorithm to put a design together and then look at a pre-built design and type their own algorithm for it.
Use these activities as a lesson on understanding what an algorithm is, how to write one, follow one, and decompose one. I even included printable posters and vocabulary cards.

What teachers said on TPT
Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 42 teachers on Teachers Pay Teachers.
“I like how easy it is to introduce algorithms and if/then, if/else statements to students in a non-threatening way. Plus, I love the fact they they are made with Google Slides because I can easily make a copy of just the activities I want to cover with my students during a specific lesson and assign them directly into Google Classroom. I also like the variety of topics she created to keep students interested.”
— Mrs. Z's Tech Teaching Tools, TPT review
“My students really, really enjoyed the building portion of this activity. I appreciated a project that gave me insight into individual ability at following directions. This project does take quite awhile to grade since I had to spread apart the pieces of the burgers in many of the projects to ensure that the students put the burgers together correctly.”
— Christine M., TPT review
“This was a great resource for us to prepare to get into coding in a few weeks! Students loved building a turkey and following the steps for each page. I was able to make it into a Seesaw with ease, and create a recording of my voice for students who have reading difficulties. My students were asking for more by the end of class! Thank you!”

This was great for introducing my students to coding. I used it for individual students and had them work in whole group and as partners.
Stacey H. (verified owner) –
These have been so helpful to my students and even myself to learn about algorithms. They are having so much fun that they don’t realize they are learning the beginning of coding.

Love these and the variety of activities! Such a great way for my students to practice following and algorithm and then also to break down and write an algorithm.
Crystal G. (verified owner) –
I used this both with in class and remote learners. I used these with Seesaw and had students build and give directions for building their robot after we did some together. I can’t wait to try some of the other themed sets!
