Robotics Coding Cards - Set of 60

This set of 60 double-sided Robotics Coding Cards is an ideal tool for introducing students to the fundamentals of programming without the need for screens. Designed to be used alongside popular screen-free robots such as Bee-Bot, Blue-Bot, and Robot Mouse, these cards help learners visualise and plan sequences before executing commands on their devices. One side of each card features basic directional commands-left, right, forward, backward, and pause-while the reverse introduces more advanced control elements, including loops, repetition, and turns by degree.

Made from durable laminated material, each card is perfectly sized for small hands and daily classroom use. This resource supports the development of computational thinking, debugging, logical reasoning, and step-by-step problem solving, all within a tangible and engaging format. Ideal for early years and primary school classrooms, these cards encourage collaboration and creativity while laying the groundwork for more complex coding concepts.

Educational Benefits:

• Encourages understanding of sequencing, direction, and logic
• Supports early years coding and computational thinking
• Provides a tactile, screen-free way to explore programming concepts
• Introduces foundational STEM and digital literacy skills
• Aids in visualising and debugging robot movements

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the cards to plan and map out a robot's path before executing commands
• Create challenge sequences that students must replicate using the cards
• Develop obstacle course activities using physical mats and directional cards
• Incorporate storytelling by having students code robot movement to match a narrative
• Pair students to promote collaboration, discussion, and peer instruction
