With the development of digital technologies, teaching computational thinking and relative skills in the K-12 curriculum can benefit students in thinking and create in the digital area. This study designed a programming course to help students develop computational thinking and relative skills, and conducted a practice in a primary school. Results indicated that students were benefited from three stages of the teaching process. Students' computational thinking knowledge, programming knowledge and skills, and problem-solving were developed after the learning of a semester. The programming works of the students also revealed that there was a tendency in the development of creativity.
