Kart Coding

Kart Coding

We listened to the story of the car that couldn't start and Ana. An adventure of a sad car that felt he was useless because he couldn't start and have adventures like its friends the airplane, train and truck. Then the car met Ana who helped him start with the help ofthe key.

We learned that having a key is essential to start any car, and also we got to practice sequences and directions with the Code Karts app.

This app revolves around the idea of overcoming obstacles to win the race. It teaches the basics of sequencing, if-then statements, logical thinking and problem-solving skills through many levels of increasing difficulty.



This game can be played to practice the sequences and commands like Forward, Left and Right.

In our class we work with command cards to practice our coding skills offline, and now is time to create our own! Before we start we should practice the main vocabulary we use: - Forward - Right - Left - Stop Activity 1. Let's practice the LEFT and RIGHT by dancing: Watch the video of the Hokey Pokey! Dance and sing along: 2. Now that you're all pumped up let's start creating! What do we need? - Something to draw on, blank sheets or cardboard paper - Pencil, markers, colors, crayons Step 1 To make better use of the paper we can cut them in 4 smaller rectangles shapes.

Let's play find the treasure! 2 Players For this game we'll use ...

Story telling with Scrath Jr

In storytelling we find that the sequence of a story is similar to the sequences we can find in different coding apps. Why? Because coding is basically the process of breaking a big problem in smaller parts to get to the objectives of our code. 1. Watch the following story: https://youtu.be/17JQ5x_PAjo 2. Can you help us organize the story? A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. J. K. Order of the story is: 1= A 2=? 3=? 4=? 5=? 6=? 7=? 8=? 9=? 10=? 2. . Let's practice our sequence and storytelling skills by playing the following game: - Put the number in the correct order of each story, which part is 1? and 2? 3? 4?  https://www.turtlediary.com/game/picture-sequencing-kindergarten.html 3. Do you remember Scratchy's Lost Ball story? Watch the video once again: https://vimeo.com/403160619 4 . Can you edit the beginning of the story with the help of Scratch Jr? Things to keep i...
