                 category to the first text box. Now click and see
                 what happens. Penguin speaks the name for the

                 to any question of your choice. Click on the text
                 box and type the question.



                                   Suppose, you have to code a dance party in Scratch where characters
                                   keep dancing in a loop until stopped? Which block will you use for this
                                   and which songs would you play in the program?
