Children will begin by playing different video games online to evaluate what makes them fun and engaging for their audience. They will then analyse the mechanics of the games and then plan a game of their own remixing a game on Scratch based on their criteria. Children will then use conditionals, operators, and variables on Scratch to make their own game. Lesson plans, editable rubrics, and classroom examples from Year 6 are provided, as well as links to additional support on the Scratch website. A digital copy of the file is available for editing and posting on Google Classroom and Seesaw provided with download.

This resource has been made to use alongside the other Honey Bee Study packs, which teach children about evolution and adaptations. In this pack, children will take a closer look at the Maths used by bees in their honeycomb, before designing their own honeycomb in Scratch using Pens and Loops. An editable copy of resources is available for sharing on Google Classroom and Seesaw is provided with download. -------- You might also like: Honeycomb and Honey Bee Printing 'Pimp my Insect' Explanation Text FREEBIE!
