Add a backdrop. You can have your dance party happen anywhere you would like. (Video Tutorial)
Add a sprite to dance. It is best to use one of the sprites in the dance category for this since they have costumes for dancing. (Video Tutorial)
Make your sprite dance using their costumes. (Video Tutorial)
Add some "music" for your sprite to dance to. The script for the music must be on the backdrop not the dancer sprite. (Video Tutorial)
Make your sprite move with the arrow keys. Your sprite must be able to move left and right. You can optionally have them also be able to move up and down. (Video Tutorial)
Now it's time to really get the party started and add some more dancers! You can copy the dance from your original sprite to a new sprite by pulling it over to the new sprite. If you want to add a sprite that isn't in the dance category, you could use something like the twist graphic effect instead of costume changes. See this tutorial for more information.
Optional: Make the backdrop change appearance somehow in a forever loop. If you don't know how to do this, it would be similar to how your sprite dances but would use change effect by block (in Looks) rather than the next costume block.
December 3rd:
It’s Computer Science Education Week and we’re going to celebrate this week with dancing!
Have you ever watched a dance team perform to music together? How do they stay in sync?
Let's all clap together. How can I get you to do that?
Using the controller on the final slide, choose a dance move students should do. Remind students that each button is an event that will have them do one of the dance moves over and over
Did you do each move once?
Student Led Dance Party: Students take turns choosing a song and using the controller to have the rest of the class dance
Wrap Up Questions:
Why do programs have events? Can you think of any events you have used in a Scratch program?
Can you think of why we would need loops in programs?
