Kids can explore the other games in Santa’s Village on their own. These adventures include puzzles to create artwork, test your geography skills and learn about global traditions during Christmas.Class Experience
Students will be introduced to a modern-day Christmas Countdown calendar. Come along to Santa’s Village where we will enter Google’s Code Lab. This class will incorporate fun Christmas animations and imagery to teach kids very basic coding skills. We start off with assembling small characters block puzzles, then blocks with directional commands and a related animated board where the code is shown in action. After finding the correct block code for each level, we will discuss the translated javascript code. This is a fun program which lets you solve puzzles and use your analytical skills to solve problems. In a social setting, students will be creating an algorithm to get tasks done. They will learn about sequences and loops. No prior experience is necessary. Students can follow along on a second device. Second device is not required, but makes it simpler for younger students to navigate. We will be coding in Google’s Santa Tracker Code Lab. Link is included in the resources.
Learning Goals
After this lesson students will be able to:
- follow an algorithm
- problem solve errors and correct them
- apply similar coding strategies to age-appropriate coding websites or apps
- with continued exposure eventually move onto more advanced languages of codingOther Details
Parental Guidance
Younger students may need parental support in order to complete tasks.
Your child does NOT need to know how to read in order to participate.

Great teachers form strong relationships with their students by engaging them in the subjects they are passionate about. I have always been a logical thinker who enjoys science, math, technology, and engineering both for work and play.
I worked as an engineer for companies like Frito-Lay, Anheuser-Busch, Amgen as a consultant for many years improving their systems with automation and equipment. Once I became a parent, I began teaching extra-curricular classes as a way to have more time at home, but stay involved in subjects that bring me joy.
Realizing that by being warm, professional, and enthusiastic, I am able to engage students. My creative lessons and strong classroom presence help build student confidence while increasing interest in subjects that may otherwise seem intimidating.
