Lesson 2 — The Decision Crossroads

Age: Grades 4–6 (ages 9–12) Duration: 20 minutes Format: Web game (play right away, no prep needed) Concept: Conditionals — conditions decide WHICH path to take, not just straight-line steps

Learning Objective

Kids understand if-else (a 2-way fork) and else-if (multiple forks) — when the condition is false, there must still be a way to go.

Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)

Play the mind-reading game: keep a secret if-else rule in your head (e.g., if a word has an "ah" sound, nod) and let your child deduce it by observing.
