Instructional Design - The Floor is Lava

Scratch Video Game Curriculum & Video Tutorials

The Challenge

Teach kids (ages 7-18) how to build their own video game.

Challenge Accepted!

My solve was to design a Scratch course for kids to build their own video game. I referenced the popular TV gameshow Floor is Lava and then added a new level with a flying object for more difficulty.

I used the curriculum to teach a live workshop with 12 kids at a local library to not only test the instructions but to also help them successfully build their own game.

Project Deliverables

=

Instructional Design – created curriculum with step-by-step instruction

=

Technical Communication – revised the process and editing of the curriculum

=

Technical Videos – created video tutorials following the curriculum (These videos are created for a persona of a child)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Play The Game

  1. Click on the Green Flag (turn your speaker volume on)
  2. Using your arrow keys move Pico left or right. Up arrow causes Pico to jump.
  3. Using the furniture as landing pads – jump around the room until you reach the top left corner. That exit ramp leads to level two.
  4. On level two you’ll need to get to the top exit again but avoid Mr. Crab while you jump on furniture.
  5. If at any time you miss your jump and fall – beware The Floor is Lava and you’ll lose the game.
