Session 3.1

Characters

Create a new project

Name it "3.1 Characters" and share it

Do you want to create your own Scratch blocks?

Experiment with the Make a Block feature in Scratch! In this project, you will create your own blocks that define two behaviors for two different characters.

Start Here

Choose from the library, paint, or upload two sprite characters.
Click on the Make a Block button in the My Blocks category to create and name your block.
Add blocks under the Define block to control what your custom block will do.
Experiment with using your block to program your characters' behaviors.
Repeat!
