Description
Begin your introduction to coding with Scratch blocks with these unplugged coding activities. Using these 4 activities students will have a hands on opportunity to understand the role of each different coding block. They will learn how to build an algorithm and what each color block means.
These unplugged activities are perfect to introduce teachers into the world of coding without having to turn on a device!
Activity 1: Getting to know Scratch blocks relay
Learning Objective: Students will be able to identify 5 different types of blocks
used in Scratch Coding
Activity 2: Human Robots & Algorithms
Learning Objective: Students will become familiar with making algorithms using Scratch blocks
Included in this resource:
★ 24 large common Scratch blocks
★ 24 small common Scratch blocks (a smaller version of the large ones)
★ 5 TYPE blocks
★ Descriptions explaining what each color block does
★ 2 different activities with teachers notes
Activity 3: Scratch BINGO
Learning Objective: Students will become familiar with the individual
blocks used for Scratch coding.

★ 18 x Scratch coding blocks
★ 5 TYPE blocks
★ Descriptions explaining what each color block does
Activity 4: Scratch Scavenger Hunt
Learning Objective: Students will become familiar with the
individual blocks used for Scratch coding by looking and searching
for blocks
This resource includes:
★ 10 printable Scratch coding blocks
★ 2 different scavenger hunt cards
★ Teacher notes, including
- resources needed
- learning intentions
- activity details
- variations of the activity to allow for differentiation within your class
