Learning about Conditional Selection before using it inside a Game

Condition starts action If you are hungry put your hand up If you like computing smile If you are 8 or older Stand Sit

Condition switches between actions If you are a girl Stand Else Bow If you like marmite Wave Frown

Condition stops repeated action Repeat until shout stop Stand Sit Repeat until teacher raises arm Smile Frown Wave once

Sometimes we want the condition to be checked many times so we put it in a forever loop

Condition starts action Forever loop checks the condition over and over again Forever If you are hungry put your hand up If you like computing smile

Condition switches between actions Forever If you are a girl Stand Else Bow Forever loop checks the condition over and over again

Condition stops repeated action Repeat until shout stop Stand Sit Repeat until teacher raises arm Smile Frown Wave once

On the playground there are lots of shapes like these When you get to a shape look at your algorithm to see what actions you should be doing

What algorithms will you write for your friends to do? Forever If touching __________ ___________ if touching _________ ____________ Else Forever If touching __________ ___________ Repeat until touching ________ _____________ What algorithms will you write for your friends to do?
