These activities give you a quick reminder of how to do new things with ScratchJr. 

For a step by step guide, click on the names of the activities.

1. Drive Across the City <- instructions

Code a character to drive across the city! Pick a background and a character, and use a motion block to make a car drive across the city.

2. Run a Race <- instructions

Want to code a race between characters? Have them use the speed block to speed up or slow down characters.

We can call this Speed control a Variable, with 3 values.

  • Slow
  • Medium
  • Fast

How could you combine these blocks in an original way to make your own animation?

Try using new characters, movement and speed blocks to set up a race of your own!
