Let the games begin… Review: Great starter for older children! - I have a number of children. My oldest son is 10 and has been constantly bugging us for something to do. We can never seem to get him enough books and audio-books from the library. We homeschool our children using a self-teaching based curriculum. I installed Scratch ahead of time because we don't allow open access to the internet in our home. With that part taken care of my son was able to open the book and build his first game in one evening without any help. All through dinner he talked about the different parts of his game. As a programmer myself I understand all too well that there is a difference between building something with direct instruction and understanding enough to create on your own. My son has been working on his second game (one he jumped to at the end of the book) for a couple of days now. The book seems to do a good job of explaining the logic behind the code in a way that he can understand. I have no doubt that once he has a few more projects under his belt my son will be able to build something on his own without instruction. I have enjoyed programming since I was young, but never quite knew where to go in order to learn at that young of an age. I am glad that these types of resources are available for my children. Maybe neither my oldest son or any of his siblings will work in computer programming as adults, but I know that the ability to understand logic and reasoning will benefit them no matter what they do. If you are starting with a younger child you may want to start with the "Coding with Scratch Workbook" in order to introduce the concepts more slowly. This book has been a perfect starter for my older child. It doesn't get him outside the way I'd like, but at least he is intellectually engaged and excited! Review: Excellent Choice for a Second Book on Scratch - I got this book for my 9 year old son, who started out with Scratch last year by using the book Super Scratch Programming Adventure. After working through that book he spent many months just playing around with Scratch, looking at other people's projects, and watching a few YouTube tutorials. I got him this book to help give him some more ideas about things he could do, and to improve his coding. The book has been a big success in our house, and my son has spent many hours poring over it, working his way through the various projects. The book contains instructions for making 8 different games, and at the end of each game there are several "hacks and tweaks" that are suggested. These are ideas for ways you could change the game, but how exactly to implement those changes are left as an exercise for the reader. It's the combination of these two pieces that make this book so useful: explicit instructions on how to do some interesting thing in Scratch, followed by some suggestions that encourage you to think beyond the given code. This book is an excellent next step for kids interested in Scratch. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #77,722 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Children's Programming Books #35 in Children's Books on Computer Entertainment & Games #1,456 in Children's Activity Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,087 Reviews | ## Images ![Coding Games in Scratch: A Step-by-Step Visual Guide to Building Your Own Computer Games (Computer Coding for Kids) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KxUkcH9pL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great starter for older children! *by M***K on June 27, 2016* I have a number of children.
