Learner Instructions

You will be focusing on using variables in a coding environment to represent different parts of speech, ultimately creating your own code for a mad libs program in Scratch. Mad Libs is a game where you create a random list of nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc. as needed and then they take their place in a story where those words have been left out.

Create a new project in Scratch here:

A few useful features to point out:

  1. You can change the sprite telling the story

  2. You can change your backdrop

  3. You can choose how to start your code using blocks in Events

  4. You can ask for input using blocks in Sensing

  5. You can create and set variables using blocks in Variables

  6. You can have your sprite talk using blocks in Looks
