Assessment

If you are stuck, use one of these game ideas as inspiration.

A simple memory game where the player has to remember a sequence of shapes or colors that are displayed for a few seconds. This could be the student’s first introduction to using loops and variables in Scratch.

A “Whack-a-Mole” game where moles pop up randomly on the screen and the player has to click on them to earn points. This game would introduce the student to creating simple animations and using the “if” block to check for collisions.

A basic platformer game where the player controls a character that can jump and move left and right to avoid obstacles and collect coins. This game would teach the student how to use variables to keep track of the player’s score and how to use the “repeat” block to create more complex animations.

A simple “Simon says”-style game where the player has to remember and repeat a sequence of sounds or colors. This game would teach the student how to use the “wait” block to pause the program and how to use variables to keep track of the player’s progress.

A simple matching game where the player has to find pairs of matching objects on the screen. This game would introduce the student to using the “random” block to shuffle the objects around and how to use the “if” block to check for correct matches.

A simple “catch the falling objects” game where the player controls a basket and has to catch as many falling objects as possible. This game would teach the student how to use the “forever” block to create continuous movement and how to use the “if” block to check for collisions.
