Teach students how to follow simple programs and conditions (if/then/else) with these Dress a Snowman digital coding activities. 2 types of digital activities ask students to follow the 3-part program to Dress a Snowman (10 slides) and then follow if/then/else directions to Dress a Snowman (10 slides). Code Builders Basics is an easier version of the Code Builders series meant for primary grades students.

Use these activities as a lesson on understanding what a program is, how to follow a program, and what conditionals are.

They just drag and drop the pieces into place on the pre-built Snowman template.
