Lesson 3 — The Secret Drawing Algorithm

Age: Grades 1–3 (ages 6–9) Duration: 15–20 minutes Format: Web game (play right away, no prep needed) Concept: Algorithm — good instructions let everyone get the SAME result without seeing the original

Learning Objective

Kids order a drawing algorithm step by step — turning a picture in their head into a sequence of commands others can follow.

Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)

Play it for real: your child gives the steps, you draw exactly what they say (no questions allowed!) — then compare pictures. Guaranteed laughs.
