Teaching an introductory course in computer programming can be challenging.  Additionally, introducing grade school, middle school, and high school students to computer science without a computer lab seems impossible.  The activities presented in this paper do not require a computer lab and can be done with a range of age groups, number of people, and prior computer experience.  The goal is to introduce various topics using fun physical activity and everyday experiences that are familiar.  Most young kids and even some college students seem to be unaware of what being in computer science means.  These activities help them understand the depth and diversity a computer science undergraduate degree can curtail.

The paper will provide the details for each of these activities and the learning objectives.  The activities included are:
(1) Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal Initial Key chains 
(2) Understanding Variables and Arrays with Paper Bags
(3) Branching and Looping Statements with Starburst Candies
(4) General Class Structure with Bags, Boxes, and a Bin
(5) Dr. Doolittle’s Vet Office: Learning Classes with Stuffed Animals
(6) Arrays with Tissue Boxes, DVD Sets, Paper Plates, and other Household Goods
(7) Basic Networking, Message Passing, and Security with Party Hats and Candy
