One of my favourite things to create with Kinders (and students of all ages) are recycled board games. What better way to introduce coding than taking an old board game and creating their own way to play. They can create characters, spaces, but most importantly, their own set of rules to follow. This showcases some of the primary functions of coding. Simply by drawing a "card" that tells you to do something in the game is demonstrating functions of coding.

Playing games doesn't have to be complex. It is amazing to see what our youngest, non-readers can create
