Python While Loops Resource Pack

Python While Loops Resource Pack

A complete set of classroom resources for teaching while loops in Python. The pack introduces while loops through short, practical activities before progressing to input loops, validation, running totals, menus, limited attempts, turtle graphics and a final virtual pet game.

Students work from functioning or nearly complete programs and choose from three levels of challenge. The activities encourage them to make small changes, test their code and gradually adapt the loop logic more independently.

The pack includes:

• 14 student Python activities
• Individual printable student handouts
• A complete teacher PowerPoint with explanations, starter code and sample answers
• A one-page while loop reference sheet
• Starter Python files

Activities include counting, rocket countdowns, password checking, number guessing, limited attempts, running totals, menus, validation and turtle drawing. The final activity combines while loops, input, selection and changing variables in a simple pet game.

Suitable for students who already understand basic Python variables, input, output and selection.
