Scratch is a fun online place where people from all over the world can make and share cool stories, games, and animations. When you visit the Scratch homepage, you can see lots of projects made by other people in the Scratch community. If you find a project you like, just click on it to try it out. To start the project, click the green flag. If you’re curious about how it was made, click “See Inside” to take a peek!
On the Explore page, you can find millions of projects to check out. If you want to make your own project, click “Create.” Every new project begins with a cat character called a “sprite.” You can drag blocks to tell the sprite what to do. For example, each time you click the sprite, it can change color. You can also add sound by pulling out another block. The Tips Window is a great place to learn how to make your own animations, stories, and games.
Each Scratch project has its own page where you can give it a name, write instructions, and share it with others in the Scratch community. When you see a project you like, you can “Love it,” “Favorite it” to save it, leave a comment, or even remix it! To remix, click “See Inside” and then the “Remix” button to add your own ideas to the project.
If you need more ideas for your Scratch projects, check out the “Tips” page. You can also visit the “My Stuff” page to see all the projects you’ve created. On your “Profile Page,” other Scratch users can see what you’ve been working on. So, what amazing things will you create with Scratch?
Sprite Adventure: Create a simple story using Scratch by choosing a sprite and making it go on an adventure. Think about what your sprite might see or do. Can it jump over a river or climb a mountain? Use different blocks to make your sprite move, change colors, or make sounds. Share your story with a friend and ask them what they liked about your sprite’s adventure.
Color and Sound Experiment: Pick a sprite and experiment with changing its color and adding sounds. Try to make the sprite change color every time you click it. Then, add a sound that plays when the sprite changes color. What happens if you change the order of the blocks? See if you can create a pattern or a song using the sounds and colors.
Observation Walk: Take a walk around your home or school and observe things that move or make sounds. Can you think of a way to recreate these movements or sounds in Scratch? For example, if you see a bird flying, try to make a sprite fly across the screen. If you hear a bell, find a sound block that sounds similar. Share your observations and Scratch creations with your class.
