In this project we’ll make a project that lets us animate words and titles in Scratch. We could use this to create titles and credits that we could use in presentations, animations or movies we’ve created as well as other Scratch projects!
Notes for parents: Each child will work at their own pace on this. I’ve uploaded video and written instructions for each step. With Scratch children ideally need access to a keyboard to name sprites and enter numbers but much of this project can be done on an iPad or tablet without any issue.
Children should be encouraged to work at their own pace and enjoy playing with what they’ve made as they go. Do encourage them to watch the video for each step again if they get stuck. Some will complete this is in half an hour, others might like to come back to this project 3 or 4 times to complete it.
Please direct any feedback or suggestions to dave@alittlelearning.org
Happy Scratching!
We’ll be using the free web app at www.scratch.mit.edu again for this lesson. You don’t need an account to take part.
Try to watch each video a few times before you read the instructions. This will help you to clearly understand what you need to do.
If have more than one of the same letter make sure that number is later in the letter order
Did you play the game?
What happened when the red dot sprite touched the bug sprite?
That’s right NOTHING!
Why not? Because we haven’t written any code to make that happen!
We need to add more code to make something happen when these sprites touch.
