It’s time to get creative and use your imagination to tell a fun story! In this story, you’ll have characters that can talk and interact with each other. Let’s make our own little game where you can move around a cat and a dog and make them say things. Start thinking about what kind of story you want to tell!
Imagine a story where the cat is always afraid of the dog. But what if the cat finds out that the dog just wants to be friends? You can use some special blocks to make your story come alive. Here’s how:
Let’s try making a story! You can make the dog walk over to the cat and say “Hi.” Maybe the cat gets scared and runs away. But if you want, you can make the story end happily with the cat and dog becoming friends!
Here are some more ideas to make your story even more exciting:
Remember, it’s your story, so you can make anything happen. Have fun creating and let your imagination run wild!
Character Puppets: Create simple puppets of a cat and a dog using paper or cardboard. Use these puppets to act out your story. Think about how the cat and dog might move and talk. Can you make them dance or jump? Try using different voices for each character and see how it changes the story. This will help you understand how movement and dialogue can bring a story to life.
Story Map: Draw a map of the places where your story happens. Include locations like the cat’s house, the park where they meet, or the treasure spot. Use arrows to show where the cat and dog move during the story. This will help you visualize the journey your characters take and understand how setting can affect a story.
Friendship Discussion: Think about a time when you made a new friend. How did you feel? What did you do together? Share your story with a classmate or family member. Discuss how the cat and dog in your story could become friends. What can they do to show they care for each other? This will help you explore themes of friendship and empathy in storytelling.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Time to get creative and use your coding skills to tell a story! Your story will have characters, and you’ll be able to make them talk and interact with each other. So, let’s create our own game! You can move around the cat and the dog and make them say things. Start thinking about what kind of story you want to tell.
For example, the cat has always been afraid of the dog, but what if the cat discovers that the dog is just trying to be friendly? The “when run” block starts everything, the “move” block will move your character, and the “say” block will make your character say whatever you type.
I was making the dog come over and say “Hi.” The cat was scared and ran away. If there was more time, it could have ended happily. The end!
