Operation Manual

A beginner’s guide to Scratch

There are also buttons to make your sprite bigger, smaller, rotate counter-

clockwise, rotate clockwise, as well as ﬂip horizontally and ﬂip vertically. Try them

out. I have also used the shrink button to make my boy smaller.

Make your sprites tell a joke

Let’s make the sprites tell each other a joke. You can do this using the speech

block from the Looks category.

You could try a simple ‘knock knock’ joke to start with.

But wait! Are you ﬁnding that both of your sprites are talking at the same time.

To ﬁx this, from the Control block add the “wait [1] secs” block to the second

sprite, before the “say” block.

Use the Import

Sprite button

to ﬁnd and

import the sprite

“boy4-walking-c”.

From the

Costumes tab,

click Edit and

use the Flip

Horizontally tool.
