Program Python at Any Age!
How they can get started:(required skills)
Type Everything: Remember: Python is strict. You need
to be precise with spelling, punctuation, and even white
space!
Try it out!
So just run some short experiments.
1. Mad Libs Generator.
2.Number Guessing.
3. Dice Roll Generator.
How to Teach Python Coding to Kids?
Introduce basics: Start with simple concepts like variables, data types,
loop…
Visual aids: Utilize visual tools like flowcharts, diagrams, and block-based
coding environments to explain complex concepts.
Break down problems: Teach problem-solving by breaking tasks into
smaller steps and guiding kids through the process.
Encourage collaboration: Organize group activities and pair programming
sessions to foster teamwork and communication.

Cycle 2&3
Just like a foreign language, learning a text language like
Python is best learned at an early age.
Python activities to do for Cycle 2 and 3:
Develop Mad Libs Generator

WHAT ARE MAD LIBS?
In simple w
ords, MadL
game in w ibs is a
hich you w
with missi rite a story
ng words i
can ask an n it; then,
other play you
blanks. As er to fill in
you are th the
who know e only one
s what’s in
about, the your story
result is of
and silly. ten funny
Give life to MadLib story by programming.
Step 1: Open a new file in Python IDE.
Step 2: create some prompts using the python input() function.
Step 3: Take input from uses and store them into python variables.
Step 4: We will use a string variable to write our story and use the ‘+’ sign
before and behind each variable to specify that this is not a string but a
variable.
Step 5: Finally, we will complete our program by printing the story using
the print function.
Example code:
verb_1 = input(“write a verb of your choice, and press enter:”)
noun_1=input(“write a name of vehicles,and press enter:”)
adj_1 = input(“write an adjective of your choice, and press enter:”)
story = “Most doctors agree that” + verb_1 + ” a“ + noun_1+ ” is ”+adj_1 +”Healthy”
print(story)

Guess-the-Number Game
import random
num = random.randint(1, 10)
guess = None
while guess != num:
guess = input("guess a number between 1 and 10: ")
guess = int(guess)
if guess == num:
print("congratulations! you won!")
break
else:
print("nope, sorry. try again!")
