Middle School Games

A good game combines luck and skill. Program a version of darts with a BOLT+ twist and see if you have what it takes to score a bullseye.

This game will truly test your memory. BOLT+ will flash different animals on the screen and you’ll need to remember what they are and the order you saw them in. Do you think you can make it to the end?

Bird? Elephant? Zebra? Explore a BOLT+ program that displays random animals. Then add a timer to make this into a fun charades game.

BOLT+ robots can send and receive infrared (IR) messages to communicate with each other. Explore how to make one BOLT+ follow another and then play a fun game!

Sometimes a game comes down to pure luck and that’s what makes it so fun! In this lesson, you’ll learn how to generate random outcomes in a BOLT+ program and play a dice game.

Guessing games can be frustratingly fun. In this lesson, BOLT+ will randomly select a famous person and you’ll have to give your teammate clues so they can guess who it is before running out of time. Do you think you have what it takes?

Shake BOLT+ when you see the Sphero smiley face to earn points! Learn how variables are used to keep track of game elements like points, lives, and levels–then make your own version of the game. The sky's the limit to what you can program with BOLT+.
