‘If-Then’ Picnic Games

The If-Then outdoor game is like Simon Says meets coding, and it's excellent for a sunny day in the park.

Secret messages

This is a very entertaining approach to help your young learn to recognise symbols and even learn other languages. You may send brief messages to your children in morse code, binary alphabet, or your own pattern, which they can read and respond to. However, beware children may create their own hidden language that you are unaware of 😊

Puzzles

Logic puzzles and riddles allow your youngster to exercise his or her reasoning skills. A farmer must cross a river with a fox, a chicken, and a bag of grain, but with only one thing at a time on a boat. He can't leave the chicken alone with the fox, and the fox with the corn. Problem-solving which is one of the most significant coding abilities learnt in this type of puzzle.
