Super resource! Thanks.
Holding a summer program for students and this is a great place for me to start to help guide them. Thank you.
thanks - great resources for a teacher new to Scratch
Nice one. If you like this you might also like another example tutorial (maybe for older pupils) for a fish game at http://scratch.redware.com/fish.html

These are really great! I'm new to Scratch and just introducing it to 4th-6th graders and these videos and task cards have been tremendously useful as a jumping off point! Thanks so much :)
Fantastic. I'll follow this to improve my understanding of scratch and try this out with some children too.
