Activities
Explore puzzles and physical games that teach algorithms and logic.
Hands-on learning. No coding required. Just thinking, moving, and creating.
ThinkPlay CS offers a collection of hands-on learning experiences designed to introduce computer science without using computers. Through interactive games and creative challenges, learners explore key ideas using simple materials like paper, cards, string, and movement.
Each activity builds core computational thinking skills such as recognizing patterns, designing step-by-step solutions, and understanding how information can be represented and processed. The focus stays on thinking and problem-solving, not programming or technical tools.
These activities are designed for everyone — from young learners to adults — and can be used in classrooms, workshops, homes, or community events. They’ve been successfully shared across different countries and learning environments.
All materials are free to use and openly licensed, making it easy to adapt, share, and bring engaging computer science learning to any setting.
