                Title Bar:  It  is at  the  top  of  the  Scratch  window.  It  shows  Scratch  Desktop
               written on the left. The right side of the toolbar has the three control buttons—
               Minimize, Maximize and Close.

                 Menu Bar: It contains options and commands related to the projects that you
               create in Scratch. The options are File, Edit, Tutorial and name of the Scratch
               project.

                Stage Area: It is similar to a stage in a play where everything takes place. You
               can watch stories, play games and run your scratch projects on the stage.

                 Sprite: It is the actor who acts on the stage. Sprite is an object in Scratch that
               performs the function on stage area. The default sprite in Scratch is an orange cat.

                 Go  Button: It is  the  Green flag and when you click on it, it runs a Scratch
               program.
