Here's a video introducing how to create an algorithm in order to play 'Yma o Hyd' using Make Code's online tools. The song can be transferred from the Make Code tools to the Micro:bit if you want (but you don't have to). After completing the task you can try following the same process to create an algorithm to play 'Zombie Nation' and also 'Hen Wlad fy Nhadau'.

Print out the cards and cut out the individual players' cards and place some of them on the floor at angles 90 degrees or 45 degrees from each other ( you can vary the location of the cards depending on the learners' experience of creating algorithms for the Sphero Bolt). Then put the picture of the goal in the middle. Give learners a challenge to create an algorithm so that the Sphero Bolt moves like a football being passed from one player to another and then into the net to score a goal!
