Hi!
Coding with Botley
Printables Activity
Discover even more coding fun with these free printable coding
challenges from BotleyTM the Coding Robot! With the help of an adult,
cut out the coding cards from page 6. Then, use the coding cards to help
Botley move through the maze from start to finish without running into
objects along the way.
Forward Right Turn Left Turn Backward
You can also create your own maze! Using the board and pieces from
pages 7 and 8, build your own maze, then create the code to solve it.
Adults: share your little coder’s mazes with Learning Resources on social
media with #botley.
Remember: Botley can only move one square at a time either using the
forward or backward cards. So if you want to move Botley to a square to
the right use a to make Botley face that way and then a to
move into that square. See the example below!
Example:
To get Botley to the finish flag you will use the following coding cards:
