Game Modification Ideas
After students complete Talent Show they can head back to the skillmap and click “SAVE TO MY PROJECTS”, which will open the game in a window with a full-featured toolbox. Here are some modifications they can try:
Change the animals in the audience to a row of clapping hands
Add a new sprite to the stage. Who would your performer be?
Add more things for the audience to throw, like confetti or hearts

Lesson Plan: Mama Dino
The Mama Dino Skillmap introduces the most common types of code blocks used throughout MakeCode Arcade.
TEKS 7 Computational thinking--applications.
(A) construct named variables with multiple data types and perform operations on their values;
(B) use a software design process to create text-based programs with nested loops that address different subproblems within a real-world context;
Learning Objective
