Maze Game in Scratch - 6-8 hours

This resource has been used with both Year 3 & 4 as well as Year 7 - the resources are adaptable. There are several presentations which are like a walkthrough of how to make the game, one contains a quiz which will challenge some students on what they have learnt.

When I have been teaching this I did it in blocks of 2 hour lessons and it takes a minimum of 6 hours but preferably 8 hours.

Presentations go in this order:

Planning Our Maze Game - supported by planning sheet and MODULES - need CODING
Maze Game Part 2 - supported by Finishing Our Maze Game
Quick Quiz and Maze Game - 10 question quiz and peer assessing included!

There is also a planning sheet which will allow students to design their own maze and think of sprites - there is a sheet attached which shows them the different sprites available. I have created 2 help sheets - one for the code for the good sprite and then another that details how to code the other sprite, duplicate, collect items and complete the maze.

We designed the game to be two player so using up, down, left and right as well as A,W,S,Z.

It worked well with all year groups but obviously more support was needed for the younger years as they had not experienced this before.
