Coding for Kids: Build Games & Animations with Scratch

Build a jumping game in Scratch using a cat sprite with two costumes, a forever loop, and space bar jump; switch backdrops such as underwater.

Learn to build a Scratch jumping game where a cat dodges a moving lion obstacle, started by a play button, with collision ending the game.

In this jumping game lesson, adjust the card sprite y-position, switch costume colors, and add jump and lion sounds, then test and iterate toward finalizing the game.

Finish a jumping game in Scratch by adding a game score variable that increments when the cat jumps over the lion and resets when the game stops. Add rock obstacle.

Add animated background sprites like butterflies and birds to the jumping game in Scratch, using forever loops with 0.5-second waits to animate them and enhance the scene.

Create an intermediate jumping game in Scratch using a lad sprite with multiple costumes as obstacles, set a blue sky backdrop, and learn to save and load the project.

Learn to program a jumping game in Scratch by guiding a lad through costume changes, keyboard controls, and a looping obstacle that glides left across the backdrop.

Finalize the jumping game by setting a score variable for all sprites that increases when obstacles pass and resets on restart, and add jump and crash sounds with smooth movement.

Learn to create stage and name coding animation in Scratch by animating letters with color effects across costumes, timed intervals, and basic motion control.

Rename the project to fruits snake game, create and customize two sprites—snake and fruit—adjust their size and colors in Scratch, and prepare to code the game in the next lesson.

Explore how to use conditional statements and variables in Scratch to control a snake sprite, respond to arrow key inputs, and move the sprite when conditions are met.

Learn to implement conditional statements in Scratch by mapping arrow keys to x and y movements, resetting to center, and connecting instructions with a forever loop for interactive ball control.
