Hour of Code for Kindergarten
November 11, 2022 11:49 AM   Subscribe

I am seeking some coding games/apps for the Hour of Code for kindergarten/first grade students.

Right now they use Scratch Jr., Kodable, and I think something called bebot or bebop or similar. I am looking for something new and different that I can teach/they can play in 40 minutes or less. Apps for ipads are fine. Websites with complicated URLs are harder. Thanks!

Minecraft has good Hour of Code support/curricula.

Ubisoft's Rabbids Coding is free for PC and definitely for all ages, including younger kids.
