Kitty's Spring Quiz Show Sample Solutions

This section provides detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to build the project. There are many ways to create a project, so feel free to explore different approaches. Please note that these instructions are Al-generated, so errors may occur and the coding blocks may not map to Scratch exactly. But it should serve as very valuable references. Stay attentive as you follow along, and enjoy!

1. Add Kitty and set up the stage.

Start a new Scratch project. Delete the default sprite and add the 'Kitty' sprite from the library. Choose a cheerful spring-themed backdrop, like a garden or park, to set the scene for the quiz show.

2. Use text to speech for Kitty to ask spring questions.

Add the Text to Speech extension. Program Kitty to say a question about spring using the 'speak' block, such as 'What color are most daffodils?'

3. Let students answer using video sensing or by clicking options.

Add the Video Sensing extension. For video sensing, ask students to move close to the camera to answer. For clicking, create answer buttons as sprites (like 'Yellow', 'Blue', 'Red'). Program them so that when the correct answer is chosen, it triggers a response.

4. Give cheerful feedback with graphics effects.

When a student answers, use 'change color effect' or 'show confetti' graphics to celebrate correct answers, and maybe a funny effect for incorrect ones.

5. Repeat for more questions and end the quiz.

Add more questions using the same method. At the end, have Kitty thank the player and maybe give a final score or message.
