This lesson moves students on from the basics of coding in Scratch and begins to introduce students to create more efficient code through the use of broadcast blocks. These blocks will allow students to time actions in their Scratch Games but also understand where they can be and should be used. Students will also learn how to make sprites control the actions of other sprites by using broadcast blocks.

On purchase of this resource, you will be provided with a sharable link to access the files in Google Drive so they can be shared with your students via Google Drive or Google Classroom. A pdf version of the resource will also be supplied.
