- When transposing the game musical chairs to a while loops, work with students to define all aspects of the while loops.
- What is the condition under which we repeat? (boolean statement)
- What is the event we repeat? (statements inside loop)
- What event happens when the condition is no longer met? (what comes after the while loop ends)
- As a group, you’ll need to define the condition, what is repeated under the condition, and what happens when the condition is over and you exit the loop.
- The condition is "music is playing."
- The action that happens under the condition to be repeated is "walk in circle."
- The action that occurs after the condition has ended and the loop exits is "sit in chair."
while(music is playing){
walk in circle
}
sit in chair
