Scratch Sensing Flash Cards

Are you looking for a fun, hands-on activity to reinforce how to program using sensing in Scratch? These flash card coding challenges are easy to use and will keep your students engaged whist embedding how to use the Scratch sensing blocks in their programming.

Please note: students will need to use the If block to complete these flash card challenges and must also know how to use loops (forever and repeat).

Your students will be having so much fun, they won’t even realise they’re learning!

This pack includes 20 different Scratch coding flash cards WITH THE ANSWERS. You have the option of printing in colour but we also include a black and white version to save you ink.

Grab your copy now and either use them straight away or keep them as a handy addition to your teacher’s tool kit.

HOW CAN I USE THESE FLASH CARDS IN MY CLASSROOM?
Your students pick a card and create the programming challenge described on the front of the flash card. Once they have created their Scratch program, students test their completed program and turn over to see the suggested Scratch code answer on the reverse of the card. If they get stuck, they can always turn the card over to see the suggested solution they can copy.

When they have their program working correctly, students swap their flash card for another and repeat the process.

Students can work individually or in pairs for this activity and love the competitive nature of using these flash cards as they see how many they can complete.

These flash cards are great when used as:

• a starter,
• a plenary,
• for early-finishers or
• as an easy, highly engaging in-class activity.

HOW DO I PREPARE THE CARDS?
These flash cards are so easy to prepare. Simply print, glue the back and fold in half along the vertical guideline, before cutting to size.

If you want to reuse them time and time again, it may be worth laminating your flash cards.

There are 20 individual programming challenges so you may need to prepare more than one set for larger classes.

These are an excellent addition to your computing teacher’s toolkit and you’ll wonder how you ever managed without them.
