Rules RULE! Applying Computational Thinking in Kindergarten: Part 1

Why are rules important? Have your students ever wondered why we have rules at school? In this interactive computer science lesson, students will play a game of charades to distinguish between responsible behavior (rule-following) and irresponsible behavior (rule-breaking) by acting out classroom rules with picture cards and then play a Scratch game to apply computational thinking as they identify and sort appropriate behavior at home and school.
