1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
Look at our little floor robot. How do we tell it to get to the teddy? What should we say first?
2 - Steps in Order ~3 mins
Look at the robot on our mat. We will tell it each move one after another. What could our first move be?
3 - Watch the Robot Go ~4 mins
Watch carefully. We will give the robot some steps, then guess where it will stop before it moves.
4 - Plan the Route ~5 mins
On the board, I will put the steps in a line from your ideas. We will start with forward. Guess where it will stop, then watch when I press Run.
Send the robot to the teddy
5 - Drive the Robot ~11 mins
Now it is your group's turn at the robot. Every try follows the same five words, and we say them together out loud: say the steps, clear, press, guess, Go! One child does one job at a time. Then watch where the robot stops.
