The OKIDO Which Way game is an exciting adventure game that teaches coding skills to children. Some parents with younger children might have heard of the OKIDO show on CBeebies, but if you haven’t heard about it, here’s a little bit of history about them. OKIDO started off from a children’s Arts & Science magazine and was later adapted into a preschool TV comedy adventure series that brings together creativity with science. It is very educational.
