Barefoot Bytes - Age 7-9

RESOURCE OVERVIEW:

Our little bytes of learning fun have been designed to encourage pupil engagement with collaborative activities. These are easy to do and can be used in school and at home tech-free, using pens, paper and other everyday items to teach computational thinking skills and concepts, encompassing a range of different subjects.

For those aged 7-9 we have the following activities to try;

• Build-Describe-Reveal – use lego/building bricks to explore decomposition and collaboration
• Let’s play – invent a new game
• Healthy body – create an exercise routine
• Time for a timetable – create a school timetable using patterns
• Sorting our bubble- explore similarities and patterns
• Flying the flag – produce a class flag through collaboration
• Our gratitude tree – write on a leaf to create a tree at school or at home
• Guess the pupil – use logic and abstraction to discover the answer
