Building More Complex Games, One Project at a Time
Many children start coding with Scratch Jr, because it’s playful, visual, and intuitive. Once they’ve mastered the basics, a natural question follows:
“What’s next?”
At that stage, children are often ready to build more interactive games, experiment with logic, and turn their ideas into projects they’re proud to share. Ottiya’s Scratch Jr.: Advanced Game Projects course is designed for exactly that moment — when curiosity deepens and confidence grows.
This course helps children move beyond simple animations and into more purposeful game-making, while keeping learning creative, approachable, and fun.
Why Advanced Scratch Jr. Projects Matter
ScratchJr is often described as an introduction to coding — but it can be much more than that.
When children work on more advanced projects, they begin to:
- Apply sequencing and logic with intention
- Understand cause-and-effect through interaction
- Solve problems by testing, adjusting, and refining
- Build games that feel meaningful, not random
Rather than memorizing blocks, children learn how ideas work together. This kind of thinking lays an important foundation for future coding, design, and problem-solving.
What Children Create in This Course
Ottiya’s advanced Scratch Jr. curriculum builds skills gradually, lesson by lesson. Each project introduces new tools while reinforcing concepts children already understand.
Guided by playful instruction from Dr. Coli, children explore ScratchJr through hands-on game design — learning by doing, experimenting, and improving their work.
Here’s a glimpse of what they’ll create:
🎮 Jump Game — Exploring Motion & Control
Children build a game where characters jump and respond to commands. Along the way, they practice:
- Motion blocks and event triggers
- Green flag activation
- Timing and control
- Simple interactions using speech blocks
This project helps children move from dragging blocks to designing with intention.
🎈 Bubble Pop Game — Interaction & Sound
In this lesson, children combine movement, tapping events, and sound to create an interactive bubble pop game. They explore:
- Start-on-tap events
- Sound blocks
- Animation and motion together
- Custom drawings using the paint editor
The focus is on understanding how actions trigger outcomes — a key coding concept.
🎮 Advanced Challenges — Multi-Step Games
As the course progresses, children tackle increasingly complex projects, such as:
- A basketball challenge game
- An Among Us–inspired design
- A simple maze game
Each project builds on previous skills while encouraging creative choices and independent problem-solving.
Who This Course Is For
This course works well for:
- Children ages 6–10
- Scratch Jr. users who are ready for more challenge
- Young game-makers who enjoy structured projects
- Homeschool or enrichment-focused families
- Children who like building, testing, and improving ideas
Whether a child has completed a beginner Scratch Jr. course or has been experimenting on their own, this course offers clear structure without rushing the learning.
Learning That Grows Over Time
Scratch Jr. is often just the beginning.
Many families start here, then naturally move into:
This course is included in the Ottiya Learning Library, which gives children access to a growing library of creative learning experiences across coding, language, music, and storytelling.
Families can explore at their own pace, return to lessons anytime, and follow curiosity wherever it leads.
