A free Thanksgiving STEM challenge for every class
The leaves are falling, the pies are cooling, and the turkeys are getting a little wobbly. Gobble Wobble is back! From November 9 to 27, 2026, the engineering courses in Kodable Creator are turkified, and your students are the engineers in charge. It’s free for every classroom.
Already use Kodable? Just log in. Gobble Wobble is waiting in Kodable Creator, no assignment needed.

Students open Kodable Creator
On an iPad, Chromebook, or computer, students go to game.kodable.com, enter their class code, and click Kodable Creator.
Find Bruno in his turkey hat
Students open the Gobble Wobble pop-up, the orange Events tab, or the Engineering Building, then click a course to start.
Look for the Gobble Wobble pop-up
Clicking GO! takes students straight to the turkeys. If they close the pop-up, they can get back anytime from the orange Events tab or the Engineering Building in Kodable Creator.
Get the turkey to the goal
Students roll their marble (aka their turkey) around items like slices of pie and into the goal. Each challenge is a new puzzle to solve, with plenty of room to experiment.
Fair warning: it can get pretty funny. When the challenges are done, students can keep customizing, creating, and experimenting with the Gobble Wobble characters.
What your class will learn
Under all the feathers, students are exploring properties and working through the engineering design process.
Exploring properties
A property is a characteristic of an object, like its size, color, or direction. In Gobble Wobble, students see those changes in action. A small adjustment might be just what their turkey needs to reach the goal!
As they build, encourage them to wonder:
- What happens if I make this object bigger?
- Will changing its direction help my turkey reach the goal?
- Which properties could I change to make my design work?
Thinking like engineers
There’s rarely just one way to solve an engineering challenge. A turkey that misses the goal gives students something to investigate, and each attempt is a chance to make an adjustment and practice a little perseverance.
- PlanRead the mission and think of a possible solution.
- BuildAdd items and adjust their properties.
- TestLet the turkey roll and see what happens!
- ImproveMake a change and try again.
Free for every classroom
The courses your students can explore during the turkey takeover depend on your plan.

Take the turkey toppling a little further
A few simple ways to deepen the learning while your students play through the activities.
Talk it through
As students test, ask: “What happened? What could you change? What will you try next?”
Swap and play
Give students time to try each other’s games and share what they enjoyed or found tricky.
Build from scratch
Have your class head to the Create building to use Thanksgiving items to build their own games.
Gobble Wobble questions
