Future-Ready Classroom Fun: A Guide for Teachers

What if every class could end with excited students asking, ‘Can we keep going?’ In today’s digital age, coding and computational thinking aren’t optional — they’re essential.

This post shows how you can transform your classroom into a future-ready, fun space where technology skills grow naturally and confidently. By the end, you'll have 12 easy-to-use strategies to plug into your routine — plus ways to track progress, engage even when you’re absent, and make coding part of your everyday classroom culture.


1. Use Code Avengers as homework extension

Want to reinforce a topic after class? Introduce a new Code Avengers course in your lesson, and then let students explore it further at home. Homework on Code Avengers isn’t just practice—it’s interactive, engaging, and lets students develop independence as they complete tasks on their own.

Teachers’ Tip: Monitor progress from your account to see who’s on track and provide feedback. Students will enjoy taking charge of their learning while you gain insights into their understanding.


2. Use Code Avengers with Your Homeroom Class

Why keep Code Avengers for specific subjects only? Try creating a class for your homeroom students to expose them to a range of digital skills. This setup encourages curiosity and gives students a taste of coding, problem-solving, and self-paced learning in a fun, no-pressure setting.

Teachers’ Tip: Add short, weekly activities during homeroom to keep students engaged. It’s a fantastic way to introduce new skills outside their core subjects.


3. Make Lessons Fun with Class Challenges and Warm-Ups

Turn learning into a game by setting up class challenges! Track who completes the most Code Avengers course tasks or who earns the most points via the Teacher Dashboard. Outside a course you can challenge your class to one of the Code Avengers Kahoot! quizzes. Friendly competitions build excitement and a sense of achievement all while working toward curriculum goals.

Teachers’ Tip: Start your lesson with Code Avengers’ “unplugged” activities. These offline tasks warm up students’ minds and prepare them for hands-on digital activities.


4. Easily Plan Substitute Teacher Lessons

Make sub days stress-free with Code Avengers! Assign courses, and the substitute teacher can follow along. Use the Quick Login tool for young students to ensure smooth access. With Code Avengers, you can even check in remotely, making it a hassle-free experience for everyone involved.

Teachers’ Tip: Check back later to see how engaged students were in your absence. You can adjust, comment, and pick up right where you left off!


5. Cross-Curricular Learning Opportunities

Bring Code Avengers into different subjects! Many courses cover math, science, and data concepts, making it easy to integrate digital literacy into other core areas. Project-based activities allow students to work on digital skills while strengthening their understanding of other subjects.

Teachers’ Tip: Pick a Code Avengers course related to a current topic in science or math to reinforce both areas simultaneously. It’s an innovative way to connect learning across disciplines.


6. Explore One-Hour Structured Lessons

Each Code Avengers lesson plan is broken down into 60-minute steps, perfect for structured, goal-oriented class sessions. The “unit” structure means you can plan an entire term with ease, focusing on age-appropriate skills and knowledge.

Teachers’ Tip: Follow the step-by-step plans to save time and ensure students progress at a steady pace.


7. Boost Assessment Prep with PRO Courses

Give older students a head start in industry-standard coding and programming through Code Avengers’ PRO courses. Designed for senior students, these courses cover advanced topics and prepare students for higher-level assessments and even career paths.

Teachers’ Tip: Incorporate these courses throughout the semester to enhance pass rates and equip students with practical, in-demand skills.


8. Launch a Coding Club or After-School Program

Start a coding club with Code Avengers! Students can tackle courses at their own pace, earning certificates as they complete each one. It’s a great way for students to explore digital interests and build skills outside regular class hours.

Teachers’ Tip: Code Avengers keeps students engaged, so your role as a club supervisor becomes easier while students drive their own learning.


9. Support Remote Learning and Review with Home Access

Code Avengers allows students to stay connected to class topics even when they’re learning from home. It’s perfect for asynchronous learning, review, or remote assignments. Students can practice skills and revise topics between assessments.

Teachers’ Tip: Assign modules for students to complete if they miss school due to illness, so they can stay on track.


10. Wide Curriculum Coverage for Global Classrooms

Code Avengers aligns with curricula in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, the US, and more. Between the lesson plans and course offerings, it supports digital literacy from primary through secondary grades, meeting the standards for a range of international educational programs.

Teachers’ Tip: Review Code Avengers’ curriculum guides to align tasks with your region’s standards and make it easier to integrate into your existing lessons.


11. Enhanced English Literacy Support

Code Avengers courses use the 2,000 most common words in English, making it accessible for all literacy levels. Glossary links, audio tools, and subtitles help explain instructions, ideal for ESOL students and those needing additional language support.

Teachers’ Tip: Enable subtitles or share the course transcript to support students with different language needs or hearing challenges.


12. Boost End-of-the-Day Productivity

Keep students engaged during the last few minutes of the day with Code Avengers! The platform’s stories and activities are a great way to wind down and keep younger students involved during “mat time” or provide an engaging option for older students who have finished their work.

Teachers’ Tip: Set aside a few minutes each day for “Code Avengers time.” It’s a productive and enjoyable way for students to end their school day on a high note.
