It definitely helped me start to understand sorting algorithms when I tried using skittles and other physical objects I could just move around. Before that it just looked like a magic loop that worked somehow, but afterward I had an idea of what the computer was doing in each step. Really, all algorithms are better when demonstrated on sweet treats. :)
