Banana Tales is a fun coding game for 6th-7th graders. In the 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.
STUDENTS WILL CODE THE PATH BETWEEN A MONKEY AND A BANANA
Game-based
Banana Tales is a fun coding game for students ages 11-13. In the game, players plan and program the game surroundings to code a path for the banana to get to the monkey. Along the way, students will meet new characters and learn how to code in Python, a widely-used programming language.
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.
