Here at Teach Your Kids Code, we believe that children as young as 5 can master the basic concepts of coding. That’s why we’ve created these simple coding worksheets that are perfect for students in kindergarten to grade 3. These themed worksheets teach 5 basic concepts of coding including algorithm, sequencing, loops, decomposition and branching.

In addition to the coding concepts, our worksheets teach other important skills like logic, number sense, and problem-solving.

Kindergarten Coding Concepts

These coding worksheets are based off the ‘5 basic coding concepts 5 year olds can understand’. When using this worksheet we strongly recommend that you reference this article when creating your lesson plan. In this article, we go through examples of how to talk about each coding concept using real–life examples.

What is included in our kids coding worksheets:

• 2-page introduction to the coding concepts for teachers and parents
• 5 themed simple worksheets that explore the basic concepts of coding
• Each set of worksheets develops the following coding skills: algorithms, sequencing, decomposition, loop creation and branching.
• Each set is varied such that the answers are not the same on both sets

Coding Worksheets in Action

Algorithms Worksheet

In this worksheet, students will learn to ‘program’ their character from the start back to the finish line! Students should write the directions using arrows in advance and then test their algorithm afterward. If they make a mistake, no worries! Mistakes are part of programming. Students can learn the importance of debugging their algorithm.

Sequencing Worksheet

In this sequencing activity, students will practice their scissor skills as well! Students must put the process of growing a plant in order. Determining the correct sequence is an important part of coding.

Decomposition worksheet

Decomposition means breaking down problems into smaller parts. We will practice breaking down a picture into smaller parts in this activity. This worksheet also helps students with counting and number sense.

Loops Worksheet

Loops are algorithms that repeat and repeat until we tell the computer to stop. We can program a computer to repeat a loop for a set number of times, or until specific condition is met. In this activity, students will program their character to repeat a ‘jump’ loop until he reaches the finish! Students will also work on counting in this activity.

Branching Worksheet

Our last coding concept worksheet reviews the concept of branching. In branching, a computer makes a choice to complete a different algorithm based on a specific condition. We make choices based on our conditions every day. One of the best ways to learn about branching is to use ‘If/Then’ statements. One example of an If/then statement is “IF its raining, THEN we need to get an umbrella.”

Unplugged Coding Activities

In addition to our printable kindergarten worksheets, we also have a variety of unplugged coding activities available for FREE on our site. These fun activities teach coding concepts without the use of a screen.
