Create a choose your own adventure - optional extension is learn how to use google forms to make an online version of your adventure

Emotion Machine Activity: Code a paper robot to display emotions

Move it, Move it- student practice 'programming' each other (could start with a bit of the Happy Maps lesson which introduces what an algorithm is)

If, Then (Conditionals) - you can easily do this without the materials. The Kodable app that is supposed to go with this no longer allows you to go to Sequence and Conditioning BUT kids can start at the beginning and get to the sequencing and conditioning level.

The Big Event- an event is an action that causes something to happen
