WHAT ARE BLOCKS?
In Scratch, blocks are the basic tools you use to make your programs. They give instructions to
sprites and backdrops. Each block is colourful and shaped like a puzzle piece, so you can fit them
together easily. When you join the blocks, they form scripts that tell your sprites what to do.

Types of Blocks
There are 9 categories of blocks in Scratch. Each category has a number of blocks. Each block has
a different function.
Motion Blocks
Motion blocks are blue and are used to control how sprites move on the Stage. These blocks
let you move sprites in different directions, rotate them, and set their position using the x and y
coordinates of the Stage.
