The children used Scratch JR to create simple games. The key phrase we used to help us in this task was - “if something happens - then something happens.” The children added a character, made it move, created a coin and programmed the coin to disappear when the character touched it. Some children extended their learning by adding more coins, making their character celebrate and by adding messages. To finish off, a selection of children chose to exhibit their game to the rest of the class by screen sharing it onto the IWB.
