1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
Think of a dance you know — hop, hop, hop, clap. Which part happens again and again?
Today we will put that same idea into ScratchJr with a special block called a repeat.
2 - Today's Coding Word ~3 mins
Our star word today is repeat block.
A repeat block runs an action a set number of times. The number on the block tells it how many.
We will also test: run the program and watch what happens.
3 - Watch the Repeat Block ~6 mins
Watch the board. We will build a short hop sequence, then put the hop block inside a repeat block. Predict: how many times will the character hop?
Then we will try a turn inside a repeat too, so you can choose hop or turn later.
4 - Plan Our Hop or Turn ~4 mins
Sit with the partner you are given. Tablets stay closed. Choose together: will your character hop or turn? Decide how many times the repeat should run. Say your plan out loud before anyone touches the tablet.
