Loops
Loops are a key concept in coding. They help kids understand how to repeat instructions to make code more efficient. At Wired Me, we teach loops through screen-free activities that show how repetition works in both real life and programming.
What Are Loops in Coding?
In computer science, a loop is a set of instructions that repeats until a condition is met. For kids, this can be as simple as clapping hands three times or repeating a movement pattern. Understanding loops builds a foundation for logical thinking and problem solving.
Screen-Free Loop Activities
- Repeat a sequence of movements like jump, spin, jump
- Use loop cards to show how many times to repeat a step
- Create patterns using art, math, or rhythm
- Write or draw repeated steps in a routine
