I really enjoyed these coding games. They seemed like games that anyone would enjoy to do. I personally liked customizing certain aspects of the games and paying close attention to details. There were some easier games that my Kindergarten class would enjoy. I like these because they are so fun that you forget that you are using problem-solving skills and coding. Some of the games I played might be a little frustrating for younger children; however, many of them seem like a manageable challenge. It is important for younger children to learn social skills that they can use as they get older. Problem-solving and communication are key topics we talk about in the Early Childhood college. Giving children time to code alone or with a partner is a good use of class time. Children enjoy and connect with technology and these games are a great educational tool. Using coding games would be an efficient way to meet the Oklahoma Computer Science Standards and other academic standards while still keeping the children engaged and interested.
