This week, learn all about control blocks and sound blocks such as the stop block, repeat block, go fast block, and pop block.
Watch the Video on Ottiya’s YouTube channel:
Hands-On Activities:
-
Watch the Intro Scratch Jr. video on Control Blocks & Sound Blocks
-
Afterwards, review all of the Scratch Jr. cards together as a class.
-
Present kids with one of the Scratch Jr. Flashcards and ask students to guess what the block is called and what it does. For example, if kids are presented with the Pop Block flashcard, kids need to say, “This is the Pop Block! It makes a pop sound”.
