Live Lesson : Creative Coding with Free Code

2Code Live Lesson

Do you want to get creative and engage your learners with programming in 2Code?

In this live lesson we will be planning, designing and coding a scene using Free Code Chimp which is part of Purple Mash’s 2Code block coding tool.

This live lesson is aimed at children in years 2 – 4 who have already had some experience of coding using 2Code.

During the lesson children will be:

· Exploring the main design features and code commands in Free Code Chimp.

· Choosing a background scene and objects/characters for their scene.

· Planning and coding a simple algorithm of events and actions for the objects chosen.

· Saving and sharing their Free Code scene to a displayboard for other children to play their code scene.

To ensure success, before the lesson please make sure:

· Children can see the live lesson stream on your class screen or IWB

· Check that Teams is working (see link below)

· Children know their Purple Mash logins and are logged in ready to go prior to the lesson starting

· Children may share a device with a classmate or work individually on their own device

· (Optional: The devices children will be using have a working microphone)

This lesson will be live and aimed at 7-9 year olds (Years 2 – 4) and will be 60 minutes long.
