Lesson Objectives

• Students will be able to create and manipulate sprites
• Students will use variables to store and update data like score and question number
• Students will use conditional statements (if/else) to check answers and provide feedback
• Students will use sensing blocks (ask and answer) to get user input
• Students will design a simple quiz game with multiple questions
• Students will incorporate scoring and feedback into their game
• Students will adapt and modify the game with their own questions and features

What is a Quiz Game?

• A Scratch quiz game presents the user with questions that they have to answer
• It is an interactive way to test knowledge on any topic
• The game asks user questions and provides feedback on whether the answer is correct or incorrect

Step 1: Create a New Scratch Project

• Open the Scratch website and click "Create"
• Once in the Scratch editor, create your own stage
• Remove the existing cat sprite by clicking on it and selecting “delete”
• You can now add any sprite to be added to the game
• Click "Choose a sprite" on the bottom right of the screen and select one

Step 2: Add a Backdrop

• Add a backdrop to make your quiz game visually appealing and attractive

Step 3: Greet the User

• Add blocks to make the game interactive
• Select "Events" and drag "When green flag clicked" to the screen
• Go to "Looks," grab "Say Hello! For 2 seconds and wait," and put it under the "When green flag clicked" block

Step 4: Add the Questions

• Select "Sensing" and click "ask what's your name? and wait", then place it under the "say Hello! For 2 seconds" block

Step 5: Check the Answer

• Check if the user entered the right answer
• Go to "Control," select the "If then else" block, and drag it under the “ask and wait" block
• Go to "Operators," select the equals to block, and put it inside the "If then else" block after the "if" statement
• Go to "Sensing," select "Answer," and place it on the left of the equals operator
• On the right side of the operator, put the correct answer

Step 6: Keep Track of the Score

• Create a variable to keep track of the user's score
• Increase the score by one each time the user gets a question right
• Select "Variables," click "Make a Variable," and name it "Score"
• To increase the score when the user gets a question right, select the "change score by 1" block and place it inside the “if” block

Step 7: Make Multiple Questions

• Repeat steps 4-6 and join them under the “if then else" block to add multiple questions
• You can ask as many questions as you want

Conclusion

• Creating a quiz game on Scratch can be a fun and engaging to test your knowledge
• Scratch is a user-friendly platform with coding blocks for beginners to create interactive games
