A Frogger style game for Scratch !!

Less than the price of a day's training for a complete site licence!

A straightforward unit of work for your pupils, designed by an experienced Head of ICT. 11 structured animated lessons lasting approximately 2 hours and mostly in chunks of about 10 minutes that show your students how to program a Frogger type game with 5 levels of difficulty. We show your pupils exactly how to make this fun arcade game, one that they and their friends can actually play! They do this using Scratch, a programming environment designed especially for students and is COMPLETELY FREE (for download details, see the bottom of this page for the link).
