Differentiation

Let ākonga get creative with the character sprite (Noor) dialogue, to personalise their program while using appropriate and respectful language.

Extension

Challenge learners to program a scoring system that tracks a user’s performance during the quiz. Check out this Collecting Poppies activity when considering potential programming approaches.

About Activity

This activity challenges ākonga to program a quiz in Scratch that relies on switching sprite costumes, broadcasting messages and assigning randomness to create an interactive experience.

The object of the quiz is to correctly guess the letter of the alphabet that matches New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) hand sign illustrations.

Connect with New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) and celebrate NZSL Week by diving into digital design and computational thinking while learning the alphabet in NZSL!
