Unplugged coding uses the principles of being able to give or follow a given set of instructions (orally or written) to reproduce something. An example is following instructions on how to make a sandwich, following a recipe to make cookies, or following a set of instructions for a lego construction etc. The ideas are endless. This then moves on to being able to write a clear set of instructions (algorithm) for another user to be able to follow, then being able to critically think about (debug) what did not work and how to fix it.

Here are some suggested tasks that use instructions to complete.
