Starter Challenge
Starter Challenge
In this lesson, students are going to create a secret class handshake. Ask students to contribute moves, and once you’ve decided on the sequence of the moves, photograph a pair of students completing each step of the sequence.
- Students work in threes
- Create a secret handshake with at least four steps
- Person 3 takes a photo of each step
The teacher then shows a handful of handshakes on the white board.
What would happen if they got the handshake wrong?

Student will learn how to code an Algorithm using Block coding in Scratch Jr on the iPad.
Students can either work in pairs or individually.
Challenge 1
Challenge 1
- Create an Algorithm in Scratch Junior on the iPad that will move the cat around in a square.
- Take a Screen Shot of the your finished code and add it to Seesaw.
- In Seesaw explain what you did.
Challenge 2
Challenge 2
- Add a background of the beach.
- Code the cat to move towards the surf board.
- Take a Screen Shot of the your finished code and add it to Seesaw.
- In Seesaw explain what you did.
Challenge 3
Challenge 3
- Add a second character.
- Place both characters at different ends of the screen.
- Code the characters to move towards each other.
- Take a Screen Shot of the your finished code and add it to Seesaw.
- In Seesaw explain what you did.
