🐾 Scenario & Activity Steps

1. The Story & The Challenge (Introduction)

Chester held a red kiss and a yellow kiss, squeezed them tightly in his palm and... lo and behold! A bright orange kiss appeared!

"What will happen if we combine blue with yellow? Or red with blue? Can you help the Bee-Bot follow the path and discover the new magic colors?"

2. Search & Predict (Combination Station)

Choosing a Combination: The child chooses which pair of primary colors they want to mix (e.g., Blue + Yellow).

Prediction: Before starting the Bee-Bot, the child makes a hypothesis: "Which color do you think will be created?"

Route Planning: The little programmer draws the path Chester needs to take on paper:

Starts at Blue ➡️ Goes to Yellow ➡️ Ends up at the Secret Square.

3. Execute & Reveal (Bee-Bot)

The child programs the Bee-Bot.

When the robot reaches the "Secret Square", the child lifts the cover and discovers the new color (e.g., Green)!

Reward: The child receives a heart/kiss sticker matching the new color right on their palm
