## JavaScript for Kids

Simple word-guess game for teaching JavaScript to kids (ages 9 and up). This game

includes some basic programming concepts such as storing values in variables, working

with arrays, using conditional statements, and using different types of loops.

This version of the game doesn't include validation or complex logic in order to

keep it simple for kids.

I recommend writing code in [jsfiddle.net](http://www.jsfiddle.net).

Another good tool is [jsbin.com](http://www.jsbin.com).

### Bugs!

This game has bugs! The "homework" from this class is to add functionality and to fix

the existing bugs. Some examples of bug fixes are:

* setting all words to lowercase

* checking for null prompt answers (and other validation)

* allowing a user to quit the game once it has started

* checking for "real" words
