SENSE GUIDANCE

BEFORE THE SESSION

  • An internet connection is required for the Game Building Session activities.

  • Have the JR Game Building Session landing page open and ready on screen for the child.

  • Open ScratchJr on a tablet before the GBS begins.

DURING THE SESSION

  • The GBS tutorial should take 15-20 minutes of the scheduled tour.

  • If the child is a beginning reader, read the activity steps aloud and encourage the child to tap/drag the corresponding icons on ScratchJr.

  • If the child is an experienced reader, encourage the child to read through each step, and tap/drag the corresponding icons on ScratchJr.

  • Follow the steps on each page and remind the child to tap on the green flag to test the code after each step.

  • The final step of each tutorial offers a way for the child to share and present the project they created. 

AT THE END OF THE SESSION

  • At the end of the tutorial, go over the "Closing Questions" to review the activity. Doing so will refresh the experience and encourage them to share the experience with parents/guardians after the tour.

  • Encourage the child to play the project multiple times and celebrate their accomplishment! If possible, invite the parents/guardians to play the project, too!

  • The project may be shared by creating a screen recording on the tablet or recording the child playing the project with another tablet or a smartphone.
