My best game ever is planning to help pupils think through and understand how conditional selection works before using it to design and code their own game.
I loved teaching this and it was a an easy decision to share it on code-it
4th Generation Resource (Revised since introducing code-it gold)
Plan
1, Learn about conditional selection
2, Always loops to continually check the condition
3, Role play conditions on the playground using shapes
4, Plan a big idea
5, Loop until the game is complete.
Plan a small part of the algorithm,
program,
test it.
6, Evaluate the game
