Activities:
 Create a Pong game in Scratch using variables
 Create a dancing character in Scratch
 Create a game or puzzle linked to Maths in Scratch
 Create a game in Scratch using the whole process of programming development e.g. planning
an algorithm and deciding on the program to achieve the algorithm
