3. This game is called, Down the River. Use the left and right arrow to make the boat turn. Steer it down the river to the end. I cannot embed the games anymore from Scratch. You will need to download the files and then open it from your computer into the program. Watch the videos below first.
How does this game work? What is the Sprite? How does the Sprite move? When does the game end? What happens if you hit a wall?
4. Go to your own computer. Download the file. Then open Scratch from the desktop. Click on "Load from your Computer". Play the game, then see if you can modify it. Make it harder or easier. How can you have it say something when the game is over? Can you add sounds?

Add sounds to your game. Make something happen when the cat gets hit by the car. Not gross, but cute.
