What Is Coding?
Coding is a set of instructions given to complete a task. If you want someone to reach from one block to another, you will have to give the right direction and it would go on its own. If the directions are not correct, it will reach the wrong block. Coding is as simple as it.
According to elementary teachers and technology experts, to excel in this ever changing world, every child needs to know the basics of coding. In addition to the jobs which make use of coding directly, like software developers, website designers, computer engineers, etc., a person can excel in other fields as well with the help of coding. Coding develops analytical thinking, problem solving skills and logical reasoning - these skills are essential for any job in life.
Basic Programming concepts included in Kidlo Coding Games are:
1) Sequence - Sequence is the first step and most important part of coding. Here the command is executed exactly in the same order of events given by the coder.
2) Loops - Loop is a concept for repeating a set of commands.
3) Functions - Functions are a set of commands which can be used anytime as per the coders wish or requirement.

Review Highlights:
This app is impressive! Not only does it teach basic programming (sequences, functions, commands, loops, even debugging) effectively to very young children (my 5-year-old loved it) in an easy-to-use, intuitive interface - it was super fun, colorful, and captivating! Added bonus: the music was not annoying, the animations were cute and supportive, and at some levels the app speaks, reinforcing the visual commands entered. As a "tech" dad and teacher, I highly recommend this app!
This app develops eye-hand coordination, patience, perseverance (grit), visual-spatial processing, logical thinking skills, problem-solving, deductive reasoning, and so much more. The mini-games are such a clever way of teaching advanced coding concepts. The games systematically build on students' experiences and knowledge as levels progress.
As a teacher I love that it's ad-free and so intuitive that kids can play/learn at their own pace with just a little help getting started. The fact that my 1st graders wanted to continue playing at recess is a HUGE testament to the fun-factor that this game offers - all while teaching the fundamentals of programming!!!
