Playful computing activities
Computing is fun! It is possible to teach pupils through play and the activities listed below aim to do just that.
All the activities are available and used within the Digital Schoolhouse workshops and are embedded into a longer sequence of lessons. However, they also work as short standalone activities which can be dropped into any number of lessons; whether you are a computing teacher or not.
