Scratch Halloween: Ghost Game

Scratch Halloween: Ghost Game is a programming activity that teaches students how to code a spooky video game using Scratch. Students create an interactive game where they catch ghosts with their mouse cursor. The step-by-step tutorial guides learners of all abilities through building core coding concepts like variables, conditionals, events, and more. Educators can implement this resource in many ways - assign it to individuals or small groups for self-paced learning, use it for whole class computer lab instruction, or even flip the classroom by assigning it as pre-learning before a programming lesson. This engaging and seasonal activity is adaptable for elementary through high school students learning coding fundamentals or looking to advance their Scratch skills by designing their own creative variations after completing the tutorial.
