Blockly Games
A series of programming puzzles that start with visual blocks and lead toward JavaScript.
Blockly Games is made up of small games, each with its own job to solve. Maze introduces loops and decisions, Bird focuses on conditions, Turtle draws pictures with repeated instructions, and Music brings in functions through composition. In the later Pond games, learners can write JavaScript as well as blocks.

Notes for parents
The puzzles run in order and are self-paced, and an offline download is offered too. A child who likes a defined puzzle may take to it more readily than one who wants a blank project.
