Scratch Academy 2: Explore Commands

Discussion

Will two characters use the same line of code? How can we program two characters to talk to each other and how can we use the “wait” command creatively.

Activities

Enter Dani’s Room 2.

This lesson will explore more complex code with “Wait,” “Play,” “Say” commands.

Have your students remix room 2 to explore how to use “Wait,” “Play,” and “Say”  commands.

Discussion Question

What is difficult about programming 2 different characters to “wait” and “say”? How did you enjoy this activity? What would you change about Dani’s room if you could? (which you can!)
