Welcome to Professor Cody’s Penalty Shootout Game using Scratch 3.0 . Students will have the chance to code an exciting football game. Each player gets to choose their team and the penalty shootout begins.
This game works best if you’re using the web-based version of Scratch 3.0 or the downloaded computer version and you are using a keyboard.
This photocopiable resource (48 pages) has been produced to provide Kids with exciting and engaging opportunities to learn coding concepts using Scratch 3.0 in a series of 4 fun standalone projects.
The projects are:
Game 1 - Alien Invasion - You learn how to using cloning to create a group of alien spaceships. The player has their own spaceship that moves and fires a laser.
Game 2 – Catch that Car - Two cars are on the track and one car has to catch the other car.
Game 3 – Pac-Man Style Game - This is a basic pac-man style game using a maze, ghosts and coins that need to be collected.
Game 4 - Platform Game- You create a platform game with three levels. You must jump on the platforms to catch the crystals.
Each project takes about two hours to complete and all of them include a series of challenges.
