ScratchJr: Animate Your Name

Vicky Initials Animation

Instructions

Create a new ScratchJr project
Draw the letters of your first name (or your initials) as characters with each letter as a separate character (Video Tutorial on drawing block letters)
Explore the Motion, Looks, and Sounds blocks and create scripts for each letter of your name (or initials) to do something on an Event of your choice - here are some suggestions of things you could do:
- Spin
- Make sounds
- Change size
- Appear & disappear
- Move around the stage
- Add a background
Done?
- Name and Save your current project
- Optional: Create a screen recording of your project and add it to our ScratchJr Projects Padlet

- Add a character to represent you that says your name and tells people what to do to see your animations?
- Turn your project into an Acrostic Name Poem and have each letter "say" its line of the poem.
