GRADES 2-5

Explore the coding concepts of sequences, loops, variables, and functions with Dash & Dot. Find step-by-step instructions and discussion questions, plus Blockly solutions, cross-curricular connections, student worksheets, and optional lesson plans. Each of the packets contains three 15- to 25-minute activities. 


DASH THE COLLECTOR 
​(level B: sequences) 

Dash needs to collect some goodies, like candy and seashells (who wouldn't?)! Introduce students to sequencing by using Blockly to program Dash to gather the objects accurately with the bulldozer accessory. 

​DOT AT THE PETTING ZOO
(level B: loops)

Dot is excited to visit the petting zoo and meet some animals. Students will explore using loops within Blockly to program Dot to make animal sounds, hide from the escaped animals, and then help the animals go to sleep. 

DASH THE PUPPY 
​(level E: functions)

DASH'S ROAD TRIP 
(level F: variables)
Dash is quite the character! Transform Dash into a puppy and use Blockly to program functions to have Dash perform tricks, speak, and run an obstacle course.
Time for a road trip, and what better buddy to travel with than Dash? Use Blockly to set variables to fill up and keep a full gas tank before the big trip.
