    1 - Create a new Scratch project

    Open the Scratch website using the link below and create a new Scratch project (do not delete the cat sprite as we'll be using it in our project).

    https://scratch.mit.edu

    2 - Add the Blue Sky backdrop

    Add the Blue Sky backdrop from the backdrop library.


    3 - Add a sound to the cat

    Now that we've added a backdrop, drag the cat down onto the ground.

    Next we'll give the cat some instructions so that when you click on the cat, it will make a meow sound. Add the following code to the cat:

    when this sprite clicked start sound [meow v]

    Click on the cat and test that the sound works!

    The start sound [meow] block will automatically have the 'meow' sound selected. Some sprites, such as the cat, come with their own sounds.

    4 - Add a dog sprite and give it a sound

    Next we're going to add the Dog 2 sprite from the sprite library and then give him some code to make a sound when you click him.

    Drag the dog to the bottom left and then give him some instructions so that when you click on the dog, it will make a woof sound. Add the following code to the dog sprite.

    when this sprite clicked start sound [dog1 v]

    Click on the dog and test that the sound works!
