Banana Tales
An Unforgettable Tale
Banana Tales is a fun coding game. Students need to help reunite twin baby monkeys who were separated after an earthquake hit. Along the way, students will tackle different coding concepts as they rebuild a baby monkey’s pathway back home.
TEACH CODING BY HELPING A BABY MONKEY ON ITS WAY HOME
GAME-BASED
In the game, twin baby monkeys were separated by an earthquake – leaving one of the monkeys with no way to get bananas! Now, it is up to your students to use code to rebuild the path and feed the baby monkey. Along the way, students will plan and program the game surroundings to code a path for the banana to get to the monkey.
LEARN PYTHON
Help students learn fundamental and advanced Computer Science concepts in the programming language Python. Students will develop and strengthen their skills in sequential programming, lists and indexing, for loops, variables, if else, while loops, Boolean operators, functions, classes and class objects, sorting, and various data structures.
EASY TO FOLLOW
The platform is intuitive and instructions are easy to follow. Every few challenges, new animals are introduced to help clear the path. After students write their code, they will click on the banana to get it moving along the path. Hints and tips are included every step of the way.
