Scratch games
Posted by Lois on 13th August 2008
I am surprised at just how engaged year 4 students are with the games unit we are doing in Scratch. Students have to make a game where they learn about healthy eating and teach the players of their game something about healthy eating. They are so keen to learn that we have to hunt them out at the end of the class.This is certainly a winner with the boys but the girls are also showing a lot of interest.
I think the key is to not just get caught up in the mechanics of programming Scratch but include the learning about the content to make their games more interesting and valuable.
