The game

Robot Path Program a robot: steps, turns, repeat loops, fix the bugkindergarten to 3rd grade

Robot Path: Kids program a robot across a circuit board by lining up command tiles (forward, turn, repeat) and pressing Run. Levels go from a straight path to steering around a rock, turning, using repeat loops, and finding the bug in a program that doesn't work.

Practice it at home

Be the robot: have them give you step-by-step directions (forward 3, turn left) to reach the kitchen.
