p.lead Want to use CodeCombat in your classroom? Great!
p It's free, there's no signup required, and we're excited to hear what your students think.
p You should be able to just point your kids at the site and let them play--you don't need to introduce it or cover anything about programming in advance. However, we've made the game pretty hard, because it's a multiplayer game, and players should be able to team up to help each other when they get stuck.
p In a classroom setting, multiplayer is easy: just do pair programming, with two students playing together at one computer taking turns typing. (We also have real-time multiplayer built into the game, but there's no need to use that when you're right next to each other in a classroom.)
