With easy-to-follow directions and fun pixel art, DK Workbooks: Coding in Scratch: Games Workbook helps kids understand the basics of programming and how to create games in Scratch through fun, hands-on learning experiences. All learners need is a desktop or laptop with Adobe 10.2 or later, and an internet connection to download Scratch 2.0. Coding can be done without download on https://scratch.mit.edu. Simple and logical instructions help kids make their own Scratch Cat soccer game, design a ghost hunt that features a flying witch, animate a bouncing melon, or build a game to test reaction speeds. Children then can share the finished games with friends to see how they score. Kids can even test their coding knowledge with written vocabulary and programming quizzes at the end of each project. Supporting STEM education initiatives, computer coding teaches kids how to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically, and is quickly becoming a necessary and sought-after skill. DK's computer coding books are full of fun exercises with step-by-step guidance, making them the perfect introductory tools for building vital skills in computer programming. Review: This is amazing! I got this book after my 5 year ... - This is amazing! I got this book after my 5 year old son asked me if we can make our own video games. It tells you step by step what to do in a very simple way. So far, we've made the first 2 games together and optimized parts of the witch hunt to our liking. I try to explain to him what to do and why but he doesn't understand just yet, so it's basically me telling him what to do and him doing it. That's ok, he'll understand in time. He's excited, but I think my husband and I are even more excited about it. Review: Good introduction to Scratch. - Super easy introduction to Scratch. We opened the book and started programming right away. I think I could also give my kids the book and allow them to use it independently as well. Would recommend as an intro book for Scratch programming. Directions are clear and concise. Teaches a few programming "vocabulary" words such as: What are variables, loops, if-then statements, scripts, operators, etc. This book includes four programs to write: Fishball, Ghost Hunt, Rapid Reaction, and Melon Bounce All of these are simple games. At the end of each program there is a "Show you know" section - a quiz for kids to review what they have learned. The solutions are found in the back of the book. What I like about this is that Scratch is pretty easy to learn. So once my kids got the fundamentals down, they "played" on Scratch for a while. I'd much rather my kids "play" with programming and learn something in the process, wouldn't you? Yeah. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #168,813 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #30 in Children's Programming Books #139 in Children's Video & Electronic Games Books #267 in Children's General Study Aid Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 733 Reviews | ## Images ![DK Workbooks: Coding in Scratch: Games Workbook: Create Your Own Fun and Easy Computer Games - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713iLRs5pIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is amazing!

This was way too easy for him and he finished it in a week. It would have been less than a week had I allowed him to work on it more often. This was super easy for him, so this is definitely for younger kids. I just bought him the next book that hopefully has more projects that are more complicated. But this is a good beginner book for younger kids! ## Frequently Bought Together - DK Workbooks: Coding in Scratch: Games Workbook: Create Your Own Fun and Easy Computer Games - DK Workbooks: Computer Coding with Scratch 3.0 Workbook - Coding Projects in Scratch: A Step-by-Step Visual Guide to Coding Your Own Animations, Games, Simulations, a (DK Help Your Kids) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/22605218-dk-workbooks-coding-in-scratch-games-workbook-create-your-own](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/22605218-dk-workbooks-coding-in-scratch-games-workbook-create-your-own) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
