“So incredibly important to start our youngest learners on a path to coding literacy - this program is engaging and effective.” ~ Eileen H.
Welcome to Turtle Tuesdays!
Turtle Tuesdays offers fun programming challenges for Logo and (sometimes) Pro-Bot, InO-Bot, and Kinderlogo users. These challenges are also posted every Tuesday on Facebook and Instagram. All the challenges are archived here, with links and solutions in the sidebar.
Easier designs await younger learners, while older students can tackle more difficult challenges. All students will enjoy creating code that makes their project special to them as they explore new commands and ways to use them. Encourage students to work collaboratively on projects.
Turtle Tuesdays Challenges for November 2024
This month we are celebrating special “National Days”!
Challenge No. 112 - November 19, 2024

Today is National Monopoly Day! (but we’ll celebrate all board games)
Let’s make a board game! You can design your own game board if you want.
Click to go to the blank board image.
Save this file to your computer and then load it into Logo as a Drawing image.
Invent a game for the turtle. For example: Roll a die and go that many squares around the board.
Stamp images from the Toolbox in some squares to make it more interesting.
Land on Pro-Bot: go ahead the same number. Land on the lobster: go back 3. Land on the rabbit: go ahead 2. Land on the die: roll again.
For an extra challenge use a different turtle to print the result of rolling a die. Use TT and RANDOM 6.
