I loved the Scratch app. I had heard of it before in a previous course but I hadn't had a chance to use it. Students get to practice coding and designing what Scratch will do. It would be neat if it developed into a game. I loved, loved the Bee Bots because you can use it cross curricular. You could program the Bee Bot to practice whatever you are teaching. You could ask a students to find a moon phrase and they would program the bee Bot to go to the right square. It is expensive for the mat, but once you have one, you can make one out of a shower curtain. I also loved the turtle coding board game. This would be a great center for a few students to work on. This game teaches strategy, collaboration and coding.
