Hour of Code Printables
Printable Hour of Code resources are a valuable complement to any digital coding activity. Physical handouts give students a reference they can consult without switching away from their code, provide a tangible takeaway that students can bring home to share with families, and make coding activities accessible in situations where screen time is limited or where a mix of on-screen and off-screen activities is pedagogically desirable. codeguppy.com provides free, downloadable Hour of Code printables — illustrated activity booklets and coding reference sheets — available in the platform's Download section.
The flagship printable resource is the "Draw with Code" activity booklet, which presents 30 JavaScript programs in a colorful, illustrated format that students can type in and run on the codeguppy.com platform. For Hour of Code events, this booklet serves as both an activity guide and a take-home resource. Students follow the printed instructions during the event, and the physical booklet goes home with them as an invitation to continue coding after the event — one of the most effective ways to extend the impact of an Hour of Code beyond the single session.
For CS teachers organizing classroom Hour of Code events, printed activity sheets provide a backup resource when internet connectivity is unreliable, a reference guide for students who find on-screen instructions distracting, and a physical record of the activity that can be displayed in a classroom coding portfolio or sent home as evidence of student participation. For school librarians running Hour of Code workshops in the library, the printables work well as activity station guides and take-home invitations to explore the library's coding resources further.
All Hour of Code printables are available free at codeguppy.com. Visit the Download section to access the full collection — print as many copies as you need for your event, at no cost.
