What teachers said on TPT
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 45 teachers on Teachers Pay Teachers.
“This was a wonderful winter themed activity. My 3rd graders really enjoyed doing this activity. I liked it because it made them think about coding. As they follow the steps, it creates a character, which they enjoyed. Students created different ones based on the choices they selected. All of them were very engaged and it did not feel like a "filler" activity - it contained valuable and productive content. Thank you for sharing this resource. Everything worked as anticipated!”
— Jackie M R., TPT review
“My school went remote recently, right when we had started coding. I used this as an assignment while they were remote and when they returned I printed their coding directions and then had them follow them on outlined floor grids. They loved it!”
— Gretchen L., TPT review
“My fifth grade enjoyed this immensely! And I was able to go over so many things to do with images in Slides (and other programs of course) concepts such as copy/paste, resize, rotate, flip, crop, etc. We had a blast. THANK YOU!”

This was so helpful, and the kids enjoyed it. I repurposed the slides as a copy and paste activity. I used the premade snowmen and had the students copy and paste the parts to recreate the snowmen.
