October's activities for the 2nd Kindergarten of Neo Rysio

 During the month of October, the kindergarten students actively participated in the educational program “Little Coders,” a series of learning experiences designed to foster computational thinking, spatial orientation, and fundamental principles of algorithmic reasoning. Through playful and hands-on activities, the children engaged with essential coding concepts, using both physical materials and digital tools.

1. Direction Coding Game

In the “Direction Coding Game,” the students worked with directional concepts (forward, backward, left, right) through movement-based and table-top tasks. The children were invited to “program” paths for a character, strengthening their understanding of spatial organization and sequence. This activity supported the development of logical thinking and orientation skills.

2. Story Coding Game

Within the “Story Coding Game,” the children utilized narrative sequencing to organize stories into logical steps. Using images, cards, and combined scenarios, the students created small “algorithmic stories,” learning how a set of instructions leads to a specific outcome. This activity enhanced language development, event sequencing, and analytical thinking.

3. Symmetry Coding Game

The “Symmetry Coding Game” introduced children to the concept of symmetry and visual correspondence. Working in pairs or small groups, the students created symmetrical patterns and “coded” structures that had to be copied or completed. Through this process, they developed visuospatial awareness and mathematical reasoning.

4. Technology Coding Game on Wordwall

Through the digital environment of Wordwall, the students participated in the “Technology Coding Game,” where they practiced coding-related concepts through interactive games. Wordwall offered opportunities for real-time feedback, sustained concentration, and familiarization with basic technological environments.

The collection of October activities contributed significantly to the development of 21st-century skills, such as problem-solving, collaboration, creative thinking, and digital literacy. The “Little Coders” program continues to provide students with meaningful learning opportunities that integrate technology, play, and active engagement, establishing strong foundations for their future encounters with the world of programming.

Activities of October - 1st Kindergarten of Trilofos, Greece

In the October activities of the eTwinning project "Little coders", the children of 1st Kindergarten of Trilofos (Greece) helped the animals find the right direction for their walk, using the direction symbols they were given.

They included the story from the book “Malala’s magic pencil” by Malala Yousafzai in a coding game. Divided into groups of three, the children managed to help Malala get to school.

They completed symmetry exercises on the theme of children's rights.

They played a memory game on Wordwall using the interactive whiteboard.

They participated in the European Code Week 2025 with the activity "Φύλλα φθινοπωρινά… ας τα βάλουμε σωστά!" ("Autumn leaves… let’s put them in order!"). 

They took part in a short video conference with some of the other schools, where they had the opportunity to greet the children and join them in a shared activity.
