🔁 Loops for Kids
A loop does something many times — without you copy-pasting.
Repeating Actions
Imagine your teacher says "write 'I will not chew gum' on the board 50 times." That's a loop! Same action, repeated 50 times.
Two Main Loops
- For loop: do this exactly N times. "Bounce the ball 5 times."
- While loop: keep doing this until something stops you. "Eat candy until the bag is empty."
Where You See Loops
Every game with a moving character uses loops. Every list of items on a website uses loops. Loops are everywhere.

Now you try! Use a loop in English: "For each cookie in the jar, ___ ".

For grown-ups
Parent/teacher tip: Physical activities (jumping jacks, clapping) are great for embodying loops.
