How Many Languages Do You Know? (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Ask children what languages they know. Then brainstorm as a class all of the languages they’ve heard. 
• Once the children can’t think of any more languages, play Hello Around the World. Ask children, were there any new languages that we hadn’t thought of?
• Discuss with the children how there are many languages, but they’re all used for the same thing: sharing thoughts and ideas!

Programming Languages  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Discuss what is a language, why we need languages, and what happens when people don’t speak the same language.
• Explain that computers also use languages.
  • Computers use languages called programming languages.
  • If children have not heard of programming languages, explain that different types of computers like iPhones or Alexa use different languages.
  • What are examples of programming languages children have heard? (C, JAVA, etc?)

Note: If children ask about smart speakers etc.: Explain that with Siri, Alexa, Google etc. the computers don’t actually speak English, but someone translated English into the computer’s language

Structure Challenge

Check Out This ScratchJr Project  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Share that you know one programming language called “ScratchJr.”
• Share your ScratchJr project with the class.
  • Note: Make sure to show the code, and not only the stage.
• Ask children guiding questions about how to explore the app and what they notice in the code (e.g., colors, symbols, words).
  • Point to the programming area of the screen: How many colors do you see here? Tap on each color to show all blocks: What do you think the colors mean? 
  • Select a Start block and a motion block: Why are some blocks shaped differently than others? 
  • Select two different motion blocks: Do you have any guesses as to what the symbols on these blocks mean? How are they different? 
  • Point to the staging area: What else do you see on other parts of the screen? 
• Explain that next time children will learn how to program with ScratchJr.

Starting Design Journals  (Suggested Time: 15 minutes)

Note: Design Journals will be sent to children ahead of time, we will ask teachers or parents to print them out so that children have them ready for the class

• Provide individual Design Journals to each child and explain that they will be used to write ideas, draw, plan, to remember things. Programmers use design journals to keep track of their projects. Each child will become a programmer and get their own Design Journal.
• Children will start by writing their names on the front cover and then answering the prompts for Lesson 1:
  • Write a list of all the human languages you have heard of…
  • Write what language or languages you speak at home...
  • What is the name of the programming language we will learn?

Design Journal Share  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Children share what they have written in their Design Journals.

Did that Sentence Make Sense?  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Remind children that ScratchJr is a programming language: a language we use to talk to computers. Explain that all different types of languages need words to be put in a certain order to make sense.

• Use Cut Out Words of the sentence (“The cat is on the mat”), scramble them, and read out/have someone read the scrambled sentence (e.g, “mat the on is cat the”).
• Discuss if this makes sense and ask children to put the words into the right order. 
• Explain that language needs to be in the right order to be understood.

What is an Algorithm?  (Suggested Time: 5-10 minutes)

• Explain that language with computers is a lot like giving instructions to a friend. You have to tell the computer exactly what to do, in the right order, to make the computer work. Explain that instructions for computers are called algorithms. 
• Explain what an algorithm is:
  • A sequence of steps in the right order
• Collect examples of activities that need to be done in a certain order.
  • E.g., brushing your teeth, putting on socks and shoes

Structure Challenge

What is Cat Doing?  (Suggested Time: 5-10 minutes)

• Explain that in ScratchJr, our programming blocks are our algorithms, and our ScratchJr characters are the computer we’re talking to. Our programs tell Cat what to do! 
• Share your ScratchJr project again with the class. 
• Have children look at a few different programs and guess what the instructions will tell Cat to do, then run the programs so the children can see if their guesses are right! 
• Remind children that algorithms are all about the order of steps. Choose a volunteer to change the order of one of the programs and guess how it will change what Cat does!

Program the Teacher  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Tell children that the teacher will now be the computer and they will get to program them! Remind them that they need to say all the steps in the right order!
• Children will be responsible for verbally directing their teacher to special destinations in the classroom (e.g. to a bookcase or a closet) or doing a task (e.g. making a sandwich).
• The instructions the children give to the teacher must be specific. For example, children should not simply say, “Move forward.” They should instead say, “Move forward ____ steps.”  or “Put the peanut butter on the bread” should be “Open the peanut butter jar and use your knife to scoop the peanut butter onto the bread.”
• When sequences of instructions do not work (perhaps because the number of steps taken were incorrect), children should alter their instructions. 
• Discuss how important it is to be specific and how important order is in programming.

How-To Book  (Suggested Time: 10-15 minutes)

• In the Lesson 2 Design Journal, children write instructions for a younger sibling who doesn’t know how to brush their teeth. Remind them they need to be specific and put all the steps in the right order, just like when they were programming the teacher!

Design Journal Share  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Ask for one or two volunteers to read what they wrote in their Design Journal.
• If time, discuss the differences between how-to-books as everyone brushes their teeth a little differently.

Virtual Learning 

• Children give the teacher instructions to do something (e.g., “raise your arm”), and the teacher asks clarification questions (e.g., “Which arm? How high?”) to get children to be as precise and orderly as possible.

Who Are These People?  (Suggested Time: 5-10 minutes)

• Illustrate that programmers can be of all different backgrounds (gender, race, ethnicity, age) with pictures (including one of yourself!) asking: “What do you think these people have in common?”
  • Answer: "They’re all programmers!"
• Explain that today, everyone will be a programmer.

Starting ScratchJr  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Introduce the tablet and explain how to handle it safely with two hands.
• Show children how to open the ScratchJr app.
• Show children how to create a new project. To begin, project one tablet onto a screen so that all children can watch the following introduction to the ScratchJr interface.

1. • Open the ScratchJr app.

• • Click the plus sign to open a new project under “My Projects.”

• • Show children the Stage (where the action happens) and the Programming Area (where the character’s actions are stored in order).

Structure Challenge

Explore ScratchJr  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Explore the platform with children as they discover parts of ScratchJr and introduce important vocabulary (stage, programming area, programming script, etc.). Use the ScratchJr Interface Guide below to point out key interface features.

Saving Projects  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Show children how to save a project under a name using the steps below:

1. • Open the project you want to share. 
   • Tap the yellow rectangle in the top right corner of the screen to see the Project Information Screen.

• • Type a specific name for this project (e.g. “Dance Party”). If children are still developing their typing skills, you can invite them to type something simple like their own name, and you can rename the project when you receive it.

Expressive Explorations

Free Play  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Children play around and explore the ScratchJr interface further.
• Children practice saving their project with their name.

Clean-Up Song  (Suggested Time: 5-10 minutes)

• Introduce the tablet clean up song and explain how to store tablets safely in the classroom or virtually.

(sing to the tune of the Itsy Bitsy Spider)

We're turning off our tablets and putting them away

We had so much fun but we're finished for the day

We're using both our hands and we walk instead of run

We put away our tablets and now the song is done

Virtual Learning

• Children may not be able to put away their tablet and remain in front of the camera. If staying at their seat, children are recommended to clap along to redirect attention to the lesson.

Scavenger Hunt for Symbols  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Show Pictures of Signs. 
  • Ask children if they know what each sign means?
  • How do they know?
• Show a picture or two of a street and go on a Scavenger Hunt for symbols.
  • Ask children to look around the picture and locate other signs on the street.

ScratchJr Symbols  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Ask children “How do you know what ScratchJr blocks mean? What clues can you find about what they do?”  
  • Shapes: Pull up a Start block, an Motion block and an End block. Discuss the shapes of blocks and ask if the shapes mean anything? 
  • Colors: Discuss the significance of the block colors. Focus on the representation of color into groups. Explain that each color represents a certain type of block (e.g., blue = motion, green = sound, pink = looks)
  • Symbols: What do the symbols tell us? 
• Discuss the importance of the Green Flag and the End block. These blocks have specific purposes within the programming language. Start blocks are like capital letters at the beginning of a sentence, and End blocks are like periods. All the blocks in the middle are the words of your sentence!

Programmer Says  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• This activity is played like the traditional “Simon Says” game, in which children repeat an action if Simon says to do something. Use the ScratchJr Block Cut Outs for this activity to focus on step by step instructions and order matters. 
• Briefly introduce each programming instruction and what it means (use only the blocks listed in the Teacher Preparation section for this lesson). 
• Have the class stand up. Hold up one big ScratchJr Block Cut Out at a time and say, “Programmer says _________.” Each instruction should be included more than once.
• Optional expansion 1: Children take turns as the “Programmer” and give instructions to their peers.
• Optional expansion 2: Include start and end blocks to each instruction, so each instruction will be “Programmer says __________,” with a full program.

Structure Challenge

How to Make a Program?  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Show simple motion blocks to the class and introduce how to make a program in ScratchJr using the steps below:

1. • Drag blocks into the programming area and tap on them to show how Cat moves. Some important motion blocks are left, right, up, down, rotate left/right, and jump. 

1. • Show how to snap blocks together to make a sequence of movements.

• • Demonstrate how to create a program using Start and End blocks that runs by clicking the Green Flag. Note that Start and End blocks are necessary when using presentation mode or when running a program with multiple parts (so they start simultaneously).

• Next, show children how to add a new character using the steps below:
  • Tap on plus sign to the left side of the screen.

1. • Select the desired character and tap the check mark to continue.

• • Drag it around the stage area to place it in desired location.

• • To remove a character, press and hold your finger on the box with the character's name on it. A red “x” will appear at the top of the character box.

Lesson 4 Check for Understanding: Before starting a project, check your children’s understanding of the new concepts they’ve just learned. Read each question to the children and have the children respond with a thumbs up for “yes” or a thumbs down for “no.” Stop and re-explain concepts as needed.

Expressive Explorations

• Cat Dance! (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)
  • Tell children they will use all the motion blocks to program Cat dancing!

What is a Parameter? (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Explain what a parameter..
  • Tells a computer how many times to do that action
• Discuss why parameters are useful...
  • They make our code more efficient (e.g., instead of having 12 turn blocks, we can just change the parameter on one turn block to the number 12)
• Explain how it works in ScratchJr using the steps below:
  • Select the block you wish to change the parameter on. Tap on the bubble with a number to use the keypad to change the number.

• The keyboard will appear on the right side of the screen.
• Use the keyboard to change the parameter (max two-digit number).
• Once you’ve entered the new parameter, tap anywhere on the screen and the key will disappear.
• Now bring it back to the Hokey-Pokey! Ask children - How might you show the turn yourself around part of the song?

Expressive Explorations

• Program the Hokey-Pokey (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)
  • Take out tablets and remind children of any rules or procedures. Tell children that we are going to be programming Cat in ScratchJr to do the Hokey-Pokey. Have several children share their strategies for programming. Children will program Cat to do the Hokey-Pokey. Tell children they will also get to work on their programs next class, so it is okay if they aren’t done.

Share Creations  (Suggested Time: 5-10 minutes)

• Children share how they represented “shake” in their program.
• Discuss that there are multiple ways to express the same thing.

Additional Activities

• Play a short game where the children can explore how the grid tool works. Have children program their Cat to move 1 space then 2 spaces and so on…

Dance the Hokey-Pokey  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Sing and dance the Hokey-Pokey again as a class to make sure everyone knows and remembers it.

You put your right hand in,

You do the Hokey-Pokey, and you turn your Cat around.

And that’s what it’s all about. (Clap, clap.)

Adding to the Hokey-Pokey  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Explain to the children that they will be revising their Hokey-Pokey programs by adding more blocks and finishing their programs.

Structure Challenge

Introduce the Pop Block (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Tell the children that this new block could be a fun thing to add when Cat “does the Hokey-Pokey.” Demonstrate that by adding the Pop block into a character’s code a “pop” noise will happen. If you don’t hear a “pop” sound when running your character’s code then check the volume on your device!

Introduce the Repeat Forever Block (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Tell children they can use a new block to make Cat dance the Hokey-Pokey Forever! Demonstrate that by adding the Repeat Forever block to the end of a character’s code will have that character run the code continuously.

Expressive Explorations

Re-code the Hokey-Pokey  (Suggested Time: 15 minutes)

• Take out tablets and remind children of any rules or procedures.
• Children can continue programming their Hokey-Pokey. Encourage children to incorporate the Pop and Repeat blocks in their programs.
• Optional prompts: To practice changing the parameters, try these prompts:
• If we sing the Hokey-Pokey really slowly then how many steps would you need the Cat to do?
• If we sing the Hokey-Pokey really fast then how many steps would you need the Cat to do?

Share Creations  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Children share their revised projects in small groups.
• Children explain how they changed or improved their programs.
• Review sharing procedures.
  • E.g., listening while others are presenting

Example Projects

Here is a brief selection of example projects. We've included examples from first graders, college students, and adults to show the range of possibilities that this project offers.

Design Process Song  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes) 

• Introduce that today children will be learning about the design process, but first they’ll learn the Design Process song. Display the Design Process Anchor Chart while playing the song for the children to listen to. Play the Design Process song a second time and invite the children to sing along! 

(to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle”)

Ask and imagine, plan and create,

Test and improve and share what we make.

(Repeat)

The Design Process  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

  • Imagine: Brainstormed movements like shake, turn and “hokey-pokey”
  • Plan: Decided on the parameters needed
  • Create: Made the program
  • Test and Improve: Added in parameters! Were the parameters right? Do they work with the speed of the song? 
  • Share: We shared at the end of class!

Your Own Design Process (Suggested Time: 25 minutes)

• Explain that the Design Process isn’t just for ScratchJr, it’s for making anything! Today they are going to get to choose what they design using the Design Process! 
• Ask: Give the children a prompt of how to make something. This can be a good opportunity to connect to other classroom topics/themes that have opportunities for crafts (example: if the classroom is studying butterflies, ask the question: How could we make a butterfly out of recycled materials?)
• Imagine: Break into small groups to brainstorm ideas for their projects
• Plan: Children think of ideas with their small group
• Create: Give children time to use craft and recycled materials to make their creation! 
• Test and Improve: Pause and ask children if their creations are following their plan? Are there any changes they want to make now that they’ve started actually making their project? 
• Share: Go around and share creations as a class.

It’s a Cycle! (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Ask the children if seeing everyone’s projects, and working on their own projects, gave them any ideas of new things they want to make! 
• Remind the children that the Design Process is a cycle. Sharing just leads to more asking and more creating and then more sharing!

Virtual Learning

• Inform parents ahead of time that children will need craft supplies for this lesson.

Design Process Song (Suggested time: 5 minutes)

• Display the Anchor Chart for Design Process on the screen again and sing the Design Process song!

(to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle”)

Ask and imagine, plan and create, 

Test and improve and share what we make.

(Repeat)

Design Process and Writing Process (Suggested time: 10 minutes)

• Discuss how authors go through a similar process with their writing.
• Show children the Design Process and the Writing Process anchor chart. Explain to children that both are creative processes that require imagination, planning, creating, revising, feedback, and sharing. Both programmers and writers turn ideas into projects that are shared with others. Ask children what other activities require a process (e.g., cooking, painting, getting better at a sport, etc.). 
• Discuss what is the same and different between programmers and authors. Writing Process: Just as programmers use the Design Process to design and create projects, writers use the Writing Process to brainstorm ideas, write a draft, make revisions, and share their writing with others. The Writing Process is also a cycle - there’s no official starting or ending point, and you can move back and forth between steps!

• Discuss with the class whether everything is in the correct order and if it is not, how would that change the story/how would you fix it? 
• Discuss how stories need to have a beginning, middle, and end — in that order!

When is your scene?  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• After talking about the beginning, middle, and end, ask children where the scene that they made falls in the story? Is their scene from the beginning of the story? Or the middle? Or the end?

Programmer Says -- Size Edition (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Instruct children in a game of “Programmer Says” using the prompts:
  • Make yourself as big as possible.
  • Make yourself as small as possible.
  • Make yourself as tall as possible.
  • Hide yourself from the camera.

Ages of Ada  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

At nineteen years old, Ada was married and by the time she was twenty-four she had three children. As Ada is getting older she is growing.
• Explain that today everyone will learn how to make things grow, shrink, hide, and show in ScratchJr.

Structure Challenge

Go To Page  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Introduce the Go to Page block
• To continue a story onto another page, add the red End block with a picture of the next page to one of your programs. This creates a “Turn Page” program function. Use the steps below:

1. Add a new page

2. Once you’ve added a new page the Go to Page block will appear in your red End block palette.

3. Add the Go to Page block at the end of your program on the first page for the pages to change after the program is done.

Hide/Show & Grow/Shrink  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Introduce Hide/Show blocks: Demonstrate that adding a Hide block to a character’s code will make them disappear! You can make them reappear using a Show block.

• Then use the Grow/Shrink blocks to show how a character can look as it grows during its life.

• Parameters on Size Blocks: Tell children that the size blocks also have parameters, just like the motion blocks.  Instead of counting ScratchJr steps, these parameters tell you how many times to get bigger.

• Introduce the Reset Size block: Demonstrate that by adding a Reset Size block to a character's code will have your character return back to its original size.
• Now bring it back to the story! Say that we can use these blocks to add pages to our story and show Ada growing on our new page. Tell children that they will be programming a new part of their Ada stories - when Ada is young!

Expressive Explorations

Add a New Page with Purple Blocks  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Have children create a new page to tell the story of Ada growing up, encourage them to add purple blocks (Hide/Show, Grow/Shrink, Reset Size) to show that she’s younger in the first part of the story!

Lesson 10 Design Journal  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• In their Design Journals, children will answer these prompts about more changes to their Ada story:
  • Is there anything you’d want to change or add?
  • What are more details you can add to your story to make it better?

Design Journals Share  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Highlight on Test and Improve

(sing to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle”)

Ask and imagine, plan and create,

Test and improve and share what we make.

(Repeat)

Test, Debug, and Improve (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Show the design process chart again and remind children of the steps for making a ScratchJr Project: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Test and Improve, Share! Today we will be learning about how to Test and Improve!
• Tell children that we need to test our programs to see if they follow our plan, and if they don’t… we need to improve!

What is Debugging?  

• Debugging is a word used in computer science to describe when people find errors in their computer programs and try to solve them in different ways. While the word “bug” was used in other scientific fields, the word “debugging” is attributed to Admiral Grace Hopper, who back in the 1940s found a moth stuck inside the computer (computers used to be that big!), which caused an error in the system. She was able to resolve the error by taking out the bug, hence the word “debugging!”
• Discuss with children about encountering problems while programming. Programmers go through the repetitive process of debugging to find and fix problems. 
• As a class, create a list of strategies for finding bugs in programs Strategy List Anchor Chart. Return back to the list to add more strategies when needed.

Structure Challenge

• Debug the Teacher’s Project  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)
• • Pull up your buggy project and explain to children what your plan was (e.g., I wanted Cat to jump twice, and then move over to Dog). Then show the children the project and point out a few things that aren’t working like you wanted them to. 
  • Have children take turns raising their hand and debugging things in your projects. Make sure to stop and play the program after each change. Tell children that you are testing. Remind them that testing was part of our design process! 

Expressive Explorations

• Edit Your Project  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)
• • Have children revisit their projects. They’ve edited their story in their Design Journal by writing about things they would change or add. Now it's time for the children to edit their projects.
  • Have children look back at their Design Journals and their programs. 
    • What parts of your program don’t match the story you’ve written now? Try and fix your program to better match your changed story.
  • Go into pairs or small groups to discuss if anyone found errors in their ScratchJr project.

Debugging Reflection  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Revisit Design Process - debugging is a part of the creation process.  
• Introduce the idea of adding strategies for debugging and editing to the Strategy List Anchor Chart

Error Examples  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Show Error Examples in ScratchJr programming language and English language to class.
• Ask children what’s wrong with these programs/words/sentences? 
• How can we fix them?

Test & Improve  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Discuss examples of testing & improving.
  • In coding, a computer comes across an error and it doesn’t work.
  • In literacy, a person comes across an error and they can sometimes read it anyway, but sometimes it's too hard and can’t be read.
• Explain the difference between changing for looks as opposed to debugging.
  • E.g., Changing for looks - changing Cat from orange to blue.
  • E.g., Debugging -  Changing the program so that Cat moves in the correct direction

Structure Challenge

Buggy Projects  (Suggested Time: 15 minutes) 

• These ScratchJr projects have some errors in them. Recreate these projects or make your own to share with the class. Each project contains a prompt with what the programmer wanted to have happen and with what is actually happening. These projects need to be debugged to work:
  • I want Cat and Bunny to jump to collect apples from the trees, but only Cat is jumping to collect apples and bunny is moving to the right.  
  • I want Cat to disappear and then get bigger and reappear but Cat disappears, reappears, and then gets smaller. 
• When children find bugs engage in the celebration of the debugging process 
  • Classroom - high fives and encouragement
  • Virtual - Applause and thumbs ups

Lesson 12 Design Journal (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Have children open up their Design Journals to Lesson 12 and practice finding and fixing errors on their own! Tell them to circle every time they find an error, and then write their fix in the box next to it.

Debugging Reflection  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Brainstorm strategies for debugging writing.
  • E.g., Rereading your writing to find errors, having a friend look at your writing.

Tell Me How You Really Feel!  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Share pictures of 3 feeling faces (smiling, crying, angry) then ask children what these smiley faces are telling us?

Tools of Communication  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Display the Tools of Communication Anchor Chart and talk about all the ways we can communicate our thoughts and feelings.
  • Words
  • Voices 
    • Discuss the difference between words and voices, talk about how the way voices sound tell you something! 
  • Faces 
  • Bodies
• Ask if they can think of any other ways! ScratchJr? Numbers? Drawings?

Express Yourself Activity  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Play a game of charades, where children act out a feeling and other children guess what the child is trying to express (e.g., child has a frown, arms crossed, eyebrows flexed = mad/upset).
• Give the child a message when it is their turn (e.g., “Show the class that you are happy with your body,” “Show the class that you are sad with your voice (but you can’t say ‘I’m sad,’” “Show the class you’re silly with your face.”)
• Give each child a turn to be the expressive character!

Structure Challenge

Introduce the “Say” Block (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Children can use the “Say” block to have their character say something. Tap on the “Say” block to use the device keyboard to add in text.

Play Recorded Sound  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• • Using the Play Sound Recorder Block:
    •  In the programming area, click on the green Sound symbol. Within that menu, click on the microphone block with the dotted edge to record sound.

• • • Tap on the red dot to record your sound. When you’re done recording, push the same dot to stop recording. Then, tap on the check mark.

• • • Now you have your own recorded sound to use in your program! Drag the new block that appeared on the palette (the microphone with a number next to it) into the programming area. Tap on it and let children listen to themselves.

Expressive Explorations

Let Me Hear How You Feel?  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Have child program an expressive character using the Cat in ScratchJr.
  • Have children practice using the Sound Recorder block and “Say” block

Share Creations  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• A few children share their ScratchJr programs using the Sound Recorder block.

Extra Challenge

• For children that need more of a challenge or scaffolding, give them the following prompts:
  • How many ways can you create a program expressing the same idea? 
  • Try using tools of communications including sounds, words, motions, or the paintbrush tool. 

Four Corners (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Designate either four corners of either the classroom, a carpet, or an open space as the game space.
• One child (or the teacher) stands in the center of the room and closes their eyes. Each child has to go to one of the four corners. When everyone is in a corner, the person in the center points in a random direction and opens their eyes. Everybody in that corner is out. This repeats, with the person in the center closing their eyes, everybody picking a corner, the person in the center choosing a corner, and everyone in that corner being out. Continue until there is either one winner or 2-3 kids left.
• If time permits, the winner of the previous game can be in the center for a second round.

What is a Conditional?  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Reflect on the four corners game. If your corner was pointed to, you were out. In order to determine if you were safe or out, you had to check where the person in the center was pointing. This is called a conditional. 
• Conditionals are when one thing has to happen before the next things can happen. Discuss the following examples:
  • What do you check for before you put on a jacket? (If it is cold or raining)
  • What has to happen before you speak in class? (The teacher calls on you)
  • What has to happen before you eat? (Wash your hands)
  • What do you check before the car can go? (The light is green)

Structure Challenge

Start on Tap/Bump & Stop  (Suggested Time: 5-10 minutes)

• Introduce Start on Tap block: 
  • Demonstrate that using this block at the beginning of a program makes a character act out its program only after you’ve tapped the character on the screen. Show this in presentation mode to clearly demonstrate the difference between Start on Tap and Start on Green Flag.

• Introduce The Stop Block and Start On Bump Block 
  • Demonstrate how to use the Stop block and the Start on Bump block in ScratchJr. The Stop block is used to end all programs running for a particular character except the program that contains the Stop Block itself. The Start on Bump block is used to make a character’s program start after another character bumps into the character. To teach these blocks, the teacher should have two characters. The first character has two programs: one that repeats forever and a second one that stops when it’s bumped. The second character should have a sequence that repeats forever. For example:

Lesson 14 Check for Understanding: Before starting a project, check children’s understanding of the new concepts they’ve just learned. Read each question to the children and have the children respond with a thumbs up for “yes” or a thumbs down for “no.” Stop and re-explain concepts as needed.

Expressive Explorations

Free Play  (Suggested Time: 15 minutes)

• Children can explore with Start on Bump, Stop, and Start on Tap block.
  • Reinforce the debugging process of trial and error while using the Start on Bump block.

Share Creations  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Children share how they used the Start on Tap, Stop, and Start on Bump during the free play.

Changing the Speed  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Have children clap at different speeds (fast/slow). Then have children try to say the tongue twister, “she sells seashells by the seashore” both slow and fast.

What Makes a Race a Race?  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Discuss with children the rules and elements of a race.
  • What are the core elements in a race (e.g., starting point, race distance, etc.)?

Structure Challenge:

Speed Block  (Suggested Time: 5-10 minutes)

• Introduce the Speed block
  • Using the Speed block, characters in ScratchJr can be made to move at different speeds (fast, regular, slow, also called “run, walk, crawl”). You can introduce the speed programming block and demonstrate how to use it on the ScratchJr program.

Go to Start  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Introduce the Go to Start block. This block will be helpful for children as their racers will need to return to the starting point after the race.

Expressive Explorations:

It’s a Race   (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Tell children that they will be programming their own race. Before they start programming, decide on the same three characters they will use for their race. Tell the children at the end, they are going to count up which character won each race and see how many wins each character got!   
• Children should use the grid to make sure all characters are starting at the same spot. Review the rules of a race:
  • To be fair - All racers start on the same spot and travel the same distance to the finish line.
  • Racers should return to start (use the Go to Start Block) when they finish the race.

Comparing Winners (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Show children a simple bar graph with a “Wins” label on the Y axis (vertical) and a “Characters” label on the X axis (horizontal). Write in the three characters that the class decided on for their races along the X axis (horizontal) as well. 
• Have each child play their race for the class. After each share, record the win on the bar graph. 
• Once everyone has shared, examine the bar graph and explain that this is a way we can compare how many times each character won!

What Else Can We Compare?  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Tell children that a graph, like the one we just made, can be used to count and compare lots of things! Give a few examples (e.g., counting and comparing the colors of m&ms, how many kids have pets at home, how many days are sunny and how many days are rainy this week) and then ask a few volunteers to share something they could count and compare!

Extra Challenge

• If children are done with their race program, have them practice being a sportscaster announcing the race so they are ready to share the story of their program (practice in pairs if others are done as well) 

Freeze Dance  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Using Freeze Dance Music or your preferred classroom music, play Freeze Dance. Freeze Dance is a great game to get children moving and engage their creativity. 
• When music plays, children dance and when the music pauses, they must freeze immediately. As the teacher, control the music and press pause periodically to make children freeze. Remember to reinforce class norms around safety and being cautious with bodies.
• Optional: You can mix it up by having some fast music and slow music to incorporate the ideas from the blocks introduced during the last lesson.

What is a Freeze Dance?  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Discuss how to make a ScratchJr character dance like we were dancing. When we dance we make lots of different movements at the same time! For example, we can jump and move forward at the same time, or we can spin and move our hands at the same time! 
  • In ScratchJr, how can we program our characters to make different movements at the same time? Give the children a chance to brainstorm some ideas. 
• Then discuss the rules and elements of a freeze dance (dancing while music plays, freezing when music stops)
  • In ScratchJr, how could we program the characters to wait when the music stops?

Structure Challenge

Parallel Programming  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Introduce Parallel Programming - It means that two programs are happening at one time. An example of a parallel program would be as follows:

• The above parallel programs allow for the Cat to move right at the same time that the Cat is moving up, so the Cat will move diagonally.

Wait Block  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Introduce Wait block.
• The Wait block programs your character to take a break or pause within the program. The number refers to TENTHS (1/10) of a second, not seconds. So a Wait block with a 10 number parameter will pause the program for 1 second.

Lesson 16 Check for Understanding: Before starting a project, check your children’s understanding of the new concepts they’ve just learned. Read each question to the children and have the children respond with a thumbs up for “yes” or a thumbs down for “no.” Stop and re-explain concepts as needed.

Expressive Explorations

Program Your Own Freeze Dance  (Suggested Time: 15 minutes)

• Have children program their own freeze dance. 
  • Encourage children to use parallel programming to make characters dance in different directions. 
  • Remind children that the wait block can make characters freeze and then continue dancing.
  • Remind children that it is important that all characters freeze at the same time.

Share Creations  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Children share their creations. Prompts:
  • What was difficult or easy about this project? 
  • If your program was set to music, would it be fast or slow music? 
  • What would you do differently if you could go back and edit?

Extra Challenge

• For children that need more of a challenge or scaffolding, ask them how they can include the Start on Bump, Start on Tap, and Speed blocks in their programs?

The Wheels on the Bus (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Sing and dance the Wheels on the Bus as a class.

 The wheels on the bus go round and round,

        round and round,

        round and round.

        The wheels on the bus go round and round,

        all through the town.

        The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish;

        Swish, swish, swish;

        Swish, swish, swish.

        The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish,

        all through the town.

• After singing two verses of the song, discuss with the class the repetitions they observed in the song. 
  • What line did we repeat several times? 
  • Ask the children to imagine they’re teaching their friend the words to the song. Is there an easier way to tell them all the words without repeating the same words so many times? 
  • Tell the children that there is! You can tell your friend to “‘Repeat “round and round” 3 times!”’

Patterns & Repeat Loops  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Create a clapping pattern (fast and slow), which also consists of repetition and rhythm. 
• Ask children to follow the clapping rhythm that was just demonstrated. 
• For more challenge: ask the children to volunteer creating their own pattern for the rest of the class to follow.

Structure Challenge

Repeat Block  (Suggested Time: 15 minutes)

• A Repeat block can make our codes more efficient, which can save us time and room. For example if we want a character to hide and show 20 times, imagine how long that will take us to drag each  block 20 times! Instead, we can use a Repeat block, which will repeat the hide and show code for us 20 times.

• Repeat Loops allows all blocks within the loop to repeat. They repeat as many times as the number parameter (in the picture above the blocks will repeat 4 times).
• Repeat Activity 
  • Make a connection to literacy: there are different ways of communicating the same message such as making a call, texting, and sending letters.
  • Show a series of programs like the ones below, and ask the children to all make a new program that does the same thing, but using a Repeat block. 
  • Discuss the different ways each program handles the repeat.

Lesson 17 Check for Understanding: Before starting a project, check your children’s understanding of the new concepts they’ve just learned. Read each question to the children and have the children respond with a thumbs up for “yes” or a thumbs down for “no.” Stop and re-explain concepts as needed.

Expressive Explorations

• Free Play with Repeat Blocks  (Suggested Time: 15 minutes)
  • Have the children think of different patterns that they can use Repeat blocks for! Let them explore on their own, checking in periodically to make sure they are using the Repeat blocks.

Share Creations  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Children share about their free play experience. Use these guided prompts: 
  • How did you use the Repeat block in your program?
  • Did you experience any challenges?

Pass the Baton! (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Play the Relay Race Video and explain to the children that when runners race as a team, they pass a stick called a baton to each other to signal that they can stop and the next person can go and start racing.

The Dancing Stick! (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Choose an object in the class to be the Dancing Stick! Explain to children that the dancing stick will be like the baton from the relay race, only it will tell them when to start dancing instead of racing! Have children stand up and get silly! Each child will get a turn to dance and make funny movements but ONLY when they get the dancing stick.
• Emphasize that children can only start to dance once someone else hands them the dancing stick!

Structure Challenge

Send Message  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Just like the batons for racing, and our dancing stick, ScratchJr has a tool that lets us pass something on from one program to tell another program to start! It’s called the message blocks!
• Send Messages: In ScratchJr, characters can send messages to one another to signal when to start their programs. The Start on Message block can be used in place of the Green Flag block. See example program below:

Lesson 18 Check for Understanding: Before starting a project, check your children’s understanding of the new concepts they’ve just learned. Read each question to the children and have the children respond with a thumbs up for “yes” or a thumbs down for “no.” Stop and re-explain concepts as needed.

Expressive Explorations

Make a Message (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Children make their own project using message blocks between at least 2 characters.

Share Creations  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Children share creations with the class.

Virtual Learning

• Rather than an object that gets passed, choose a fun word! The children will dance and then say the fun word and another child’s name to pass it on to that child.

Where the Wild Things Are (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Read Where the Wild Things Are aloud to the class.

Where the Wild Things Are Events  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Review Where the Wild Things Are.
  • Recall the order of events in the story, Where the Wild Things Are. Show examples from the book.
  • Using 3 scenes from the story, ask children where each event belongs in the story.
    • “What happens in the beginning, middle, and end?”

Planning Where the Wild Things Are Story  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• In their Design Journals, children will plan their story. The planning sheet has three sections for the beginning, middle, and end of the story with lines for writing and space for drawing.

Expressive Explorations 

Program Where the Wild Things Are Story (Suggested Time: 15 minutes)

• Children will program a scene from the beginning, middle, and end of the story, Where the Wild Things Are to create a 3 page ScratchJr project using the Go to Page block.

Any Challenges?  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Children can share any challenges they may be having with the group for help.

One-Two Step  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Children will watch a video of synchronized dancing robots.

What is a Synchronized Dance?  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Talk about how dancers have to learn all the steps and do the exact same steps to make their dances look synchronized, almost like if they had the same blocks in their program!
• Discuss using the following prompts:
  • How can we make all the characters have the same program?
  • Is there any part of Where the Wild Things Are that we could fit in a synchronized dance?

Structure Challenge

Copying Scripts  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Introduce copying scripts in ScratchJr.
• Children can drag a script from one character over to another character. Then both characters will have the same script!

Expressive Explorations

Program the Wild Rumpus into your Story Where the Wild Things Are (Suggested Time: 20 minutes)

• For the final project, children will use the Go to Page block and have 3 pages for their story. 
• For a more guided final project, have the children program a Wild Rumpus as their ending and have all the characters dance the same dance using the copying scripts.

What If...?  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• As a class, discuss the possibility of alternative stories or endings. For example, What if the story ended differently? What if Max didn’t go home? What if Max didn’t miss home?

Guess Who?  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Play a game of Guess Who? 
• If you know the children well enough, then pick one in the classroom and give hints about them.
• Or use characters from one of the books or ScratchJr.
  • E.g., Ada - loves flying, machines
  • E.g., Cat - orange, likes to be programmed

Alternative Ending with Bonus Character  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Revisit the discussion from last class about alternative endings. Discuss the idea of what if the story changed in these two scenarios:
  • “What if there were new characters?” 
  • “What if the ending of the story changed?” 
• Introduction to the final project. 
  • Children will change the last page of their projects created in lesson 19-20 to create a new ending, and add a new bonus guest to join the Wild Rumpus!

Planning Final Project  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• In their Design Journals, children will plan for changes to the last page and their bonus character.
  • Changes to the last page - what might you change?
  • New bonus character - who should be your bonus guest?

Expressive Explorations:

Programming Final Project   (Suggested Time: 10 minutes) 

• Children will program to change only the last page of their story. Children will also invite a new ScratchJr character to join the Wild Rumpus using the copying script from another character.

Bonus Character Questions  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Have children create questions to ask in order to find out who the bonus character is - use the anchor chart for Bonus Character Questions and save responses for the next lesson.
  • E.g., Is your bonus character imaginary or real?

Show What You Know! (20 minutes)

• Start off class with a quick check in of the children’s knowledge. This is the summative assessment for the curriculum. Hand out a copy of Show What You Know Student Sheet to each child and project the teacher slides on the board. Read each question aloud and give children about 2 minutes per question, for more information see Show What You Know Information Sheet.

Adding More to Your Project (5 minutes)

• Whenever children are done with Show What You Know, let them return to the projects and continue adding details and revising. Tell the children that the next class will be when they share their completed projects.

Expressive Explorations

Programming Final Project  (Suggested Time: 15 minutes)

• Children will work on their projects to have:
  • Title page
  • Adding bonus character - copying script
  • Adding details!

2 Stars and a Wish  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes) 

• In pairs or small groups, have children discuss their projects using the 2 Stars and a Wish feedback prompt:
  • 2 Stars are two things that went well.
  • 1 Wish is one thing you want to do better.

Our Sentence Story  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Teacher starts the story with: “Once upon a time there was a programmer.”
• Children and teachers go around and each add one sentence to the story, ultimately ending with one story from the class.

Helping Hand  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Discuss children may have helped each other and needed help during projects or activities. Working together and supporting each other is part of being a coding community and is how programmers work together. Discuss the importance of gratitude and how it’s important to show appreciation and thank the people who help you. The warm-up story activity wouldn’t be the same if all of the children didn't contribute to the story.

Structure Challenge

Project Naming (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• Invite children to name their final projects following the steps below.
  • Tap the yellow rectangle in the top right corner of the screen to name your project and see the Project Information Screen.

• • • Type a specific name for this project (e.g., "Child's name_grade level"). See example below:

Collaboration Web  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Display a classroom collaboration web on the wall with pictures of the children and have children draw lines or attach yarn to the pictures of other children who helped them. Children should start thinking about who helped them with their projects prior to coming up to the board. 

Thank you cards  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Children will decide on two classmates who helped them and write them thank you cards.

Sending Gratitude  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes) 

• Children will deliver thank you cards to classmates.

Example Projects

Here is a brief selection of example projects. We've included examples from first graders, college students, and adults to show the range of possibilities that this project offers.

Dance a Wild Rumpus  (Suggested Time: 5 minutes)

• As a class, dance as if you were in the Wild Rumpus from the book, Where the Wild Things Are.

Final Showcase   (Suggested Time: 20 minutes)

• Teachers can share by having children send their final projects through email and accessing the projects on their iPad. The teacher will share their iPad screen with the class to show each child's project and have time for the child to explain their work. 
• Note: Teachers can screen record the ScratchJr projects and upload them to a powerpoint to share screen from their computer, if needed. 
• Use the guided questions: 
  • Who is your bonus guest?
  • How did you change the end of the story?
  • What are some of the blocks you used in your program?

Lesson 24 Design Journal  (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• In their Design Journals, children will write a reflection to answer the prompts:
  • Write about something you learned...
  • Write about your favorite part of ScratchJr...

The Future of Programming (Suggested Time: 10 minutes)

• Applaud and compliment children for all their great work on both their final projects, as well as throughout this class. 
• Discuss the future of programming with the whole class with these guided questions: 
  • What is their favorite thing that they have learned in ScratchJr? 
  • What project would they like to work on next? Or what skill would they want to learn next?
  • Looking bigger than ScratchJr, what piece of technology would they want to help invent or program? 
• Explain that now that they have finished taking this class, they are the future of programming! That as they grow up they will continue to learn how they can take the ideas they have in their brains right now and make them real! 
• Ask children to sing and dance to a clean up song one last time.

(to the tune of the Itsy Bitsy Spider)

We're turning off our tablets and putting them away

We had so much fun but we're finished for the day

We're using both our hands and we walk instead of run

We put away our tablets and now the song is done
