Coding for Kids
Celebrate Thanksgiving with Coding Projects!
Kids are out of school and have plenty of time on their hands. In addition to spending quality time with family members and friends, why not encourage your child to use some of their screen time to develop their coding skills?
As you’ve probably heard, the ability to code will reap benefits for a lifetime while developing essential problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills, so children can succeed at school and become architects of their own future.
Tynker Has 3 Fun-Filled Thanksgiving Coding Challenges
In our first Thanksgiving project, Tricky Turkeys, kids can use block coding or JavaScript and the HTML canvas to create a game where turkeys are hiding behind a grid of obstacles. Your goal is to find them all by clicking on them before time’s up!
In Gobble Trouble, kids can code a hide-and-seek game with turkeys! It’s almost time for Thanksgiving dinner, and all of the turkeys want to be the last one caught. Children will use coding concepts like simple events and messaging, program control, and cloning in this holiday activity!
Want more Thanksgiving coding fun? In Turkey Trot, kids can help Farmer Wyatt catch his escaped turkeys in time for dinner!
