Learning About Sequencing!

Learning about sequencing in Kindergarten and early childhood is an important readiness skill that helps young children understand how to recognize patterns and makes their world more understandable and predictable. It is foundational for reading, writing, math, and scientific inquiry. Sequencing is also an important concept for computational thinking.

In this unplugged activity, our kindergarten students had fun as they “programmed” each other to go through sequences they created. Taking turns, one child created the program (code) while the other child pretended to be the robot following the instructions (code). Some added an element of fun with the “shazam” code at the end.  Along the way, students had to use good listening and direction-following skills!
