All instructions on how to develop the code using Scratch 3.0 have been included, as well as several challenges for each activity. The pack is 35 pages and will take around 3 hours to complete all activities and challenges. Activity 1 - Decorating the living room ready for Christmas - Make the Christmas decorations sparkle! Activity 2 - Dancing Santa - Get Santa to dance - simple dances to choreographed dances. Activity 3 - Christmas Gift Game - Christmas presents float around the screen and if you can click on a present you get to see what’s inside! Activity 4 - Catch the Reindeer Game - In this game Santa has lost his reindeer (including Rudolph) and he has to catch them. At the same time he must avoid the dog pretending to be a reindeer. Activity 5 - Naughty or Nice - In this activity Santa must check the Nice list before he gives a present. The Python Programming Christmas Activities is designed for KS4.
