Age: Grades 1–3 (ages 6–9) Duration: 15–20 minutes Format: Web game — drag blocks to write a real program (Blockly) Concept: Block Programming — spot the repeating pattern in a path (right-up, right-up) and write it as a loop with several blocks inside

Learning Objective

Kids spot the repeating pattern in the path (right-up, right-up) and write it as a loop containing several blocks — everything they've learned, combined.

Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)

If they're stuck, don't reveal the answer — trace the path with a finger and ask, "Which move keeps repeating?"
