Summarized by Saad Khan

The gamification gets more complex once we move from primary school students to middle school students. Hopscoth is a good transition from drag-and-drop learning to bringing more creativity with coding.

Hopscoth and other web-based coding games work well hand-in-hand with Blockly games. It has elements of fun games but it introduces the students with proper coding terminologies.

Swift Playgrounds is yet another great app that helps students make that transition from web-based coding games to word-based coding. It does contain the elements of drag-and-drop, but it the blocks actually contains codes in it, and the students are able to write the codes in the blocks.
