Easy Python Projects for Beginners

1. 🧮 Calculator

A calculator is a great starting project for beginners. Using Python, you can build a simple program that performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It’s a fun way to practice user input, basic math operations, and logical thinking.

# Simple calculator in Python
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

def subtract(x, y):
    return x - y

def multiply(x, y):
    return x * y

def divide(x, y):
    return x / y

# Input from the user
num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))
operation = input("Choose operation (+, -, *, /): ")

if operation == '+':
    print(add(num1, num2))
elif operation == '-':
    print(subtract(num1, num2))
elif operation == '*':
    print(multiply(num1, num2))
elif operation == '/':
    print(divide(num1, num2))
else:
    print("Invalid input")

2. 🎯 Number Guessing Game

Build a fun game where the computer selects a random number, and the player tries to guess it. This project helps you practice using loops, conditionals, and random number generation in Python.

import random

number = random.randint(1, 100)
guess = None

while guess != number:
    guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 100: "))
   
    if guess < number:
        print("Too low!")

3. 😂 Mad Libs Game

Create a hilarious story generator where users fill in blanks with random words like nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Python then uses those words to complete a funny or unexpected story — a great way to learn about string manipulation and user input.

noun = input("Enter a noun: ")
verb = input("Enter a verb: ")
adjective = input("Enter an adjective: ")

print(f"The {adjective} {noun} decided to {verb} all day long!")

4. Rock, Paper, Scissors Game

4. ✊🖐✌ Rock, Paper, Scissors Game

A classic and simple project for beginners! The user picks rock, paper, or scissors, while the computer makes a random choice. Python then compares both to decide the winner — perfect for practicing conditionals and randomization.

import random

choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
computer = random.choice(choices)
player = input("Choose rock, paper, or scissors: ")

if player == computer:
    print("It's a tie!")
elif (player == "rock" and computer == "scissors") or (player == "paper" and computer == "rock") or (player == "scissors" and computer == "paper"):
    print("You win!")
else:
    print("Computer wins!")

5. ✅ Simple To-Do List

Build a handy program to keep track of daily tasks! With this project, users can add, remove, and view their to-dos easily. It’s a great way to learn how to manage lists and user input in Python — simple, useful, and fun to build.

to_do_list = []

while True:
    task = input("Enter a task (or 'done' to stop): ")
   
    if task == 'done':
        break
    else:
        to_do_list.append(task)

print("Your tasks are:")
for task in to_do_list:
    print(task)
