Lesson 2 — Spot the Repeating Pattern

Age: Grades 1–3 (ages 6–9) Duration: 15–20 minutes Format: Web game (play right away, no prep needed) Concept: Loops — see a repeating pattern and shrink it with "repeat N times"

Learning Objective

Kids convert between "repeated actions" and the "loop symbol 🔁" in both directions — a first step toward writing compact code.

Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)

Point out loops around you: a spinning fan, a song's chorus, blinking lights — the world is full of loops.
