Bees communicate with one another through dance!!! Yes, that's right, bees dance! When a scout goes out to search for some nectar, it comes back and tells the rest of the hive about it through a series of dance moves. These "dances" are coded messages.
In this unplugged coding activity for kids, we will learn about how bees use dance for coding, we will become bees and then create our own coded dance for others.
1. Bee Dance at school:
We will make a map on the floor with 4x4 squares like this and dress up as bees.

The Bee Leader dances in the map and shows the way by leaving a trail (string) on the squares.

The other bees read the code and write it down with arrows.
After that, they follow the code and find the sunflower. Then, they send the dance code to their partners.
2. BeeBot Dance
Each school draws a square with a flower using Collaborative Drawing, and we prepare the beebot map. After that, we play the game using beebot.

3. Scratch Dance
The collaborative Beebot map will be used to build a Scratch Game.
