Description
This unplugged activity engages pupils aged 5-7 in creating hand clapping, hand tutting, or hand jive sequences. By breaking the movements into smaller parts, students practice decomposition, a key concept in computer programming. They learn to connect this skill to breaking down problems when designing animations, games, or other programs, building both creativity and foundational computational thinking.
