Do Nows for beginning Scratch instruction

A collection of "Do Now" activities that I use to start class to highlight how certain tools can be used in Scratch.

Scratch Do Now 1: Reviews or introduces the function of some basic control and looks blocks.

Scratch Do Now 2: How a switch works.

Scratch Do Now 3: Coming soon - got saved over :(

Scratch Do Now 4: Ask/answer, if-else.

Scratch Do Now 5: Broadcast/receive, repeat until, touching, motion, bounce on edge, etc.

Scratch Do Now 6: Costume change, when ___ clicked, movement in x, y, broadcast/receive.

Scratch Do Now 7: Variables

Scratch Do Now 8: More Variables Practice (uses a program written by two of my students in response to the variables activity posted elsewhere... see program below)

 

Please let me know what you think! :)
