FREE Coding Lesson for Scratch Jr.

by LisaTeachR's Classroom
Pre-K-2

Coding with the littles is so much fun! Have fun with this fun, digital resource for Scratch Jr. Scratch Jr. is a wonderful programming language that lets kids ages 5-7 create stories and games. Kids use blocks to create the code. Your littles will love it.

I start it with the ISTE standards and then an inclusion activity. Then I introduce the new blocks we will be using that day. I have a slide that shows the task for the day. The last slide is always "Let's Play." This is a digital lesson that will be copied to your Google drive. Feel free to change out the text and your bitmoji. Lessons are widescreen 16:9 for best viewing.

This lesson is for the basics. They will learn about movement blocks!!

Blocks kids will use are:

movement
trigger: green flag

What I love about this lesson is the feeling of ownership kids have when creating their own sprites to create their names..

**Scratch Jr. is for ipads. This a lesson for the basics. It's a good place to start.

Coding with the Littles

Have you done coding with your littles? I'm currently doing Scratch Jr. with my Kindergartners and they are loving it.

What is Scratch Jr.?
It's a programming language that lets kids ages 5-7 create stories and games. Kids use blocks to create the code on their iPads.

On the left is where you add sprites (or characters). You can edit the sprites using the paint tool. On the right, that's where you see the backgrounds.

The coding is done with blocks. Kids just add a triggering block, some code and an end block. They just drag the blocks to the bottom. These are all the blocks they have access to.

I create my lessons in Google slides. I use my bitmoji classroom template. I start with an inclusion activity. Then I introduce the new blocks we will be using that day. I have a slide that shows the task for the day. The last slide is always "Let's Play."
