order your own morning steps into an algorithm that makes sense

Kavi Plans a Morning
"Every morning I do the same steps," said Kavi. "Wake up, brush my beak, get dressed, eat, pack my bag. That's my morning algorithm!" Kavi grinned. "Now it's your turn — be the coder of your own morning. Put your steps in an order that makes sense, so nothing goes wrong."

What your child will learn
1A morning that works, and one that doesn'tThe same steps in a different order give a very different morning. A good algorithm puts them in an order that makes sense.
2Find the step that's out of placeIn your own algorithm, every step should make sense where it is. Predict the step that's in the wrong place, then reveal.
3A morning is an algorithm you already knowYou do a morning algorithm every day! Press Run and watch Kavi's morning, step by step. Each step makes sense before the next: you can't eat before the food is ready, or pack a bag before you're dressed.

A peek inside
Your morning: get dressed · wake up · eat breakfast · brush teeth. Which step must come FIRST?
you can't do anything until you are awake
