Have you ever wondered how computers, cell phones, or machines work? It might seem like magic, but it’s actually something called programming that makes them work. Let’s find out more about it!
Machines like computers and phones need to receive orders to do tasks. But how do they understand what we want them to do? That’s where programming comes in! Programming is like a special language that humans created so machines can understand us and follow our instructions.
Just like we have different languages like English or Spanish, programming also has different languages. These languages help us write code, which is a set of instructions made up of words and symbols. When we write code, we are telling the machine exactly what we want it to do.
Did you know that programming languages are used to create some of your favorite video games? That’s right! Programmers write code to design the games, create the characters, and make everything work smoothly. So, the next time you play a video game, remember that programming is the magic behind it!
Smile and learn as you discover more about the amazing world of programming!
Code Your Own Instructions: Let’s pretend to be programmers! Choose a simple task, like making a sandwich or brushing your teeth. Write down each step as if you are giving instructions to a robot. Remember, the robot doesn’t know anything, so you need to be very clear and detailed. Share your instructions with a friend or family member and see if they can follow them exactly. Did they get it right, or did you need to add more details?
Language Detective: Programming languages are like secret codes. Let’s become language detectives! Find out how to say “hello” in three different languages, like Spanish, French, and Japanese. Now, imagine you are creating your own programming language. How would you say “hello” in your language? Draw a picture or symbol to represent it. Share your new language with your classmates and see if they can guess what it means!
Game Creator’s Workshop: Think about your favorite video game. What makes it fun? Is it the characters, the story, or the challenges? Now, imagine you are a game creator. Draw a picture of a new game character or design a simple game level on paper. What instructions would you give to make your character move or jump? Share your ideas with the class and see if they can come up with even more creative instructions!

Do you know how computers work, or cell phones, or machines? It may seem like magic, but it’s not. They function in a very simple way: they receive orders and perform tasks. How is this possible? Thanks to programming.
Programming is the language that machines and technology use. It was created by humans so that machines can understand us and do what we want them to do. Programming has many different languages, which means there are many different ways to give instructions to machines.
With these languages, we can write code that combines words and symbols to form commands. Did you know that these programming languages were used to create some of your favorite video games?
