Did you know that October 3rd is Techie’s day? Celebrate with these fun coding activities for kids.
This is a day to celebrate all things technology-based, computer-oriented, and cutting-edge. Kids can get in on this day too with these fun coding activities for kids. These coding activities are mostly all offline, teaching kids the thinking and logic behind programming and coding, without crowding them around a screen all day. Kids will love these hands-on coding games and activities that will help them celebrate Techie’s Day in style.
Technology is the career of the future, and helping kids form a knowledge base about technology, programming, coding, and other tech-heavy skills is a wonderful way to help prepare them for the future. Even preschoolers can help learn the basic logic behind programming with many of these activities, which are perfect for kids of all ages. Each activity can be adapted for a range of ages, from preschool all the way up to high school.

I must say these are some of the best activities which I have read till now to teach coding for kids. What’s even more interesting is, all are offline activities which I think is very much necessary for kids, to shift their focus from screen based coding. All the different activities which you have shared will be very much useful to develop the right environment for kids to learn coding skills. Thanks!
