Grades K–2
Robot Steps — Unplugged Game
A no-screen coding game. One person is the “robot”, one is the “coder”. The coder writes arrow steps; the robot follows them exactly — even when they are wrong!

How to play
- Put a toy (the “treasure”) somewhere in the room.
- The coder draws arrows: ↑ forward one step, ↺ turn left, ↻ turn right.
- The robot follows each arrow exactly, one at a time.
- Did the robot reach the treasure? If not, find the arrow to fix — that is debugging!
- Swap roles and play again.
