Creating our own games on Scratch

Our Primary 6 and Primary 7 children have been working hard to learn how to make an interactive game on Scratch.

They have been learning about variables (things that can change) and operators (for example, adding, multiplying or dividing).

We looked at some examples on scratch and tried to create our own version.

Here is an example of a Times Table game created by Sean from Primary 7 – click on the link to play – https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/96874440/

Good luck!

Taking part is easy. Just collect Flora Tubs4Tablets tokens inside promotional tubs of Flora 500g (Original, Light and Buttery), AVAILABLE IN TESCO STORES FROM 23rd SEPTEMBER. (From 23rd September Tesco will be running a promotion on the 500g tubs of Flora of Buy 2 for £2)
