1. Objective of the lesson
Program your Sphero to simulate and play games
All of you will:
Use your Sphero to create a program to simulate being pulled over by a traffic officer
Most of you will:
Use your Sphero to create a Hot Potato game
Some of you will:
Create a program to allow your Sphero to tell the future

2. Speedy Sphero
You’ll create a program that simulates Sphero getting pulled over by a police officer for speeding, build a hot potato game, and make Sphero into a fortune teller to predict the future. All of this will be accomplished with variables that let you set conditional values.

3. Variables

4. Speeding Ticket
Sphero gets pulled by a police officer for speeding, using the speed sensor as a variable and Loop Until.

5. Speeding Ticket

6. Hot Potato
Advance Warning – This program starts to be come more difficult. Only proceed if you are in Year 8 and confident at coding and maths
Sphero gets thrown around in the hot potato game using two variables and Loop Until.    

7. Hot Potato

8. Fortune Teller
Sphero is a fortune teller that predicts the future by combining a variable, nested If Then, Else conditions, and random bounded values. After you build the program, consider creating a more complex fortune teller, here are some possible answers you could program.
