The Zimmer Twins website invites kids to create and share their own animated stories. A great resource to engage those children are reluctant at putting pen to paper for story writing.

My y1s are really enjoying Scratchjr, great for younger children, and as it's a free app it's good for the school budget too.

My 5 year old daughter loves Scratch Jr. She had a tutorial from us initially, but was able to use the software independently very quickly, to her own delight.

I have used the computer version of Scratch with students in grades 3-6 (in Australia). My colleagues were amazed when students produced maze games where if the player bumped into the maze walls they were returned to the start - little did they know how easy it was once we got the hang of the coding. Great stuff.

Actually there is also a new curriculum for Scratch with worksheets: http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/guide/download.html It has also been translated into several languages. This is a very helpful tool if you want to start introducing programming to a class. I have been using it now twice, and I am happy with the outcome. In particular the worksheets are so helpful and give you more time to support the individual child.

Thank you for this link - really helpful! I have a lot of colleagues who do not feel confident about their use of ICT in the classroom and in school - I am going to show them this to support their skills that they already have!

I have used this game a lot in secondary/middle schools to check the pupils understanding of a certain topic. The pupils have to set up their own questions, and also provide the correct answer and several false ones. The pupils enjoy it because 'They think they are just making up a game', when in fact you can look at what they are setting up and in they indeed have the knowledge to do this. I have only used this in Year 5/6 in terms of primary school and I would probably recommended for that age group upwards.
