Scratch for the Curriculum

Below are five scratch lesson plans that I found for Middle School aged students.

1) Balloon Pop - This game has the user pop ballloons with your mouse. One point is added for each balloon, and one point is deducted if you miss a balloon. https://github.com/zleap/Scratch3_BalloonPop

2) Valentine’s Day Scratch Lesson: Hearts and Arrows - This lesson includes and introduction video and three short, step-by-step tutorials. This is considered a starter project and includes game design concepts that are built in. Students are able to add on their own features. https://www.createcodeload.com/valentines-scratch-lesson/

3) Create Your Own Haunted House Adventure Game - This lesson allows students to build their own haunted house with detailed instructions. http://blog.wecancodeit.org/download-haunted-house-materials-for-your-own-computer-workshop

4) Build Your Own Talking Tom - A complex lesson that involves building your own Talking Tom. The instructions provided allow you to add commands to the puppet and control the execution of Scratch codes based on sensory inputs of the doll. http://http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/resources/magic-mazescratched.gse.harvard.edu/resources/build-your-own-talking-tom-toy-scratch-and-arduino

5) Magic Maze (Scratch 2) - This is a fun lesson plan created by a teacher that provides detailed instructions on how to build a maze in Scratch. http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/resources/magic-maze

Below are two videos of myself building the Balloon Pop game. I faxed some challenges including navigating Scratch because I am not an expert yet and  a slow internet connection. Enjoy!
