$4.00

Earn 4 Points to use on a future purchase

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. Unlike the harder Code Builders series, Code Builders Basics do not require students to resize the pieces or adjust layers. They just drag and drop the pieces into place on the pre-built Snowman template.

What teachers said on TPT

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 32 teachers on Teachers Pay Teachers.

“My kindergarten students loved making snowmen on the computer. This is a wonderful resource because it makes them follow directions, recognize color words, and build a cute snowman. This was the perfect lesson for my students to come back to school to after a week off from snow.”

— Mallissa G., TPT review

“My students found this a lot of fun! They had so much figuring out their snowman. I used it with third grade students and some of them are ELL and special education students and all of them were able to complete the activity at varying levels.”

— Amy Z., TPT review

“For my PreK and Kinder students, I highlighted the color of the scarf, hat and button. They were excited because they said they could read. We only did the first 5 slides. My 1st and 2nd graders especially loved the If/Else activities on the snowmen.”

— Kristi B., TPT review
