Roblox Coding for Kids 8–12: 2026

Do you love playing Roblox and want to learn how to make your own games from scratch?

This beginner-friendly course will teach you how to create fun and interactive Roblox games using Roblox Studio and simple Lua scripting — even if you’ve never coded before.

You’ll start by learning how to install Roblox Studio, create a project, and understand the basic tools. Then, step by step, you’ll build a complete obstacle-based game (obby) while learning essential game development skills.

You’ll learn how to add and customize obstacles, create spawn points, and design your game environment. After that, you’ll dive into basic Lua scripting to make disappearing platforms, lava kill blocks, moving obstacles, and timed challenges. These features bring your game to life and make it more exciting to play.

You’ll also learn how to build custom 3D models using Roblox’s Union and Negate tools, allowing you to create doors, windows, roofs, and unique game objects. To polish your game, you’ll design a main menu and settings screen using Roblox UI tools and make your game look professional across all screen sizes.

By the end of this course, you’ll have built a complete, playable Roblox game and gained the confidence to create your own games in the future.
