                                      They control how many times an event happens, how long an

                                      event happens, or when an event happens.

                     CREATING A SCRIPT


                 Scratch allows you to create a Script using various blocks. To create a script in
                 Scratch and to move and turn the block, follow these steps:

                 Step 1  Click on the Motion block and drag the move block to
                          the script area.

                 Step 2  Click on the number and type in the number of steps,
                          for example 100.

                 Step 3  Now, drag the Turn block to the script area and place it just below the
                          move block. You will see that it snaps to the previous block.

                 Step 4  Now, click on the move block to run the script.
