In this interactive lesson, students will create a short story about a magical tree that grows with their help. They'll design their story page with images and backgrounds, use voice commands to interact with their tree, and write a special promise to take care of trees.

Create a fun game where players drag lowercase letters to match their uppercase counterparts. Students will design their game, record their voices, add sound effects and background music, and learn how to integrate these elements using basic coding skills. Students are encouraged to share their games with peers and younger friends, creating a fun and interactive learning community.

Code a voice-commanded journey through a winter wonderland maze. This lesson combines creative storytelling with interactive coding, challenging students to navigate a character through a maze using voice commands and culminating in a celebratory message.

Students will remix classic fairy tales into original narratives by reconfiguring story elements and characters. They will structure their stories and enhance them with digital skills, coding background music and voiceovers on Elementari. Students will finish by publishing, sharing, and commenting on each other's stories!

Embark on a captivating adventure into the secret world of spies and invisible ink, inspired by Josephine Baker's remarkable espionage during World War II. In this interactive lesson, students will write a narrative hook and code a hidden message to reveal by dragging an object over it, blending history with the magic of coding.

Have fun writing and coding your own interactive story on Elementari!

Write a personal narrative that captures the essence of their daily routines, activities, and experiences. Students will select significant moments to highlight, making their stories engaging and reflective of their personal lives. Additionally, students will enhance their stories by adding background music, bringing their narratives to life.

Dive into environmental storytelling with this lesson, where students address climate issues by designing a "Choose Your Own Adventure." They'll pick a problem—like biodiversity loss, water scarcity, deforestation, climate change, or pollution—and craft stories with choices leading to different environmental outcomes, showcasing the significance of our actions on the planet.

Design and code an engaging true/false interactive game about a historical figure - combining interactive slides with true/false choices, a dynamic scoring system, and conditional logic. Students will research historical facts, then apply coding concepts to track scores and direct game outcomes based on player responses. This lesson merges historical inquiry with computational thinking.

Students will design and code an interactive game where players solve a dance sequence puzzle. This project will teach students how to use conditional logic, text variables, and animations. They will also create a riddle that hints at the correct sequence of moves: left, right, jump, enhancing their storytelling and coding skills.

Dive into the colorful world of Josephine Baker, an incredible dancer, singer, actress, World War II spy, and pilot. Students will learn about her extraordinary life and imagine how Josephine might have come to befriend her cheetah through a creative story, blending facts with their imaginations.

This lesson is designed for K-12 educators, offering a practical, step-by-step guide to creating interactive stories from a student's viewpoint. Educators will learn essential skills such as story design, basic visual coding, and the publishing process, all through immersive student-centered activities.
