The activity is part of the eTwinning project "Calling for Earth Heroes". It is a simple and funny unplugged activity for preschoolers.

During the activity students will:

•Understand in an experiential way sequencing and computational thinking

•Familiarize with the concept of coding and decoding

•Make their first step in coding in a funny and playful way

The story behind the activity is the following;

A monster has kidnapped Earth and locked her in castle. The students are going to be the Super Heroes who will set Earth free. Before they undertaken the task they need to enlarge their super powers so they will dance the Dance of Earth Heroes.

To do so they are invited to create a choreography using five slides with given dance moves. Each slide has a number that is an encrypted letter of the word “EARTH”. Students will have to decode the numbers and put the slides in the right order to create the choreography and perform the Dance!

All partners of the project will make a video with their students’ dance and share it in a padlet.

The slides that will be used are part of the supported material “The Big Dance Party Slides” included in https://curriculum.code.org/hoc/unplugged/4/#dance-party-unplugged4
