UNPLUGGED CODING IN Social Studies – Holidays

Description

Coding meets Social Studies instruction with VoCode! Integrate those robots you have (or turn students into robots) to complete these phonics coding challenges. 3 Options for the activities mean that you can use this with ANY movable Bots and ANY grade level of students. Be sure to check out the images to see which ones are included!

6/3/20 Now includes six digital slides that can be used in Google Slides or PowerPoint!

This set includes Holidays.

How to Use:

• The most straightforward way to use these activities is to have students program their bot to go to one term at a time.
• To add a challenge, give students multiple stopping points for their path.
• This might mean choosing 5 cards from the pile and that is the order in which they need to write their program.
• Add levels of complexity by requiring students to program in “jumping over” pieces or spaces, and “collecting” and “discarding” the pieces they picked from the pile.
• Due to the factor of choice in these activities, there are no answer keys. Have students check each other.
