Looking for a fun activity to do with your kids that also teaches them some valuable programming skills? Look no further! Join us for an exciting hour of game-making in Scratch Jr!
No prior experience in Scratch or programming is necessary. We'll guide you and your child through the process of creating a simple game that they'll be proud to show off to their friends and family.
We'll start with an introduction to Scratch Jr and its user-friendly interface. Then, we'll dive right into creating a game that involves a player who needs to be saved from falling objects. Your child will have the chance to use their creativity to design their own player and objects.
We'll teach them how to program the player to move left and right to avoid the falling objects. We'll also add a score system that keeps track of how many objects they successfully avoid. Imagine the excitement on their faces as they watch their score increase with each object dodged!
But that's not all! We'll also add a high score feature that stores the highest score achieved by your child. They'll feel like a true game designer as they compete with their own high score and try to beat it.
By the end of the workshop, your child will have learned the basics of Scratch Jr programming and how to create a simple game that includes user interaction, scoring, and high score tracking. You'll leave feeling proud of what you and your child have created together, and they'll be inspired to keep exploring Scratch Jr and creating their own games and animations.
So grab your child and let's have some fun building a game together in Scratch Jr! This is a great opportunity to bond with your child while learning new skills and sparking their creativity. Don't miss out on this exciting adventure!
