Makey Makey Learn Simple Italian Words/Phrases Game

I made a small program that teaches someone a few simple words and phrases in italian. This is made for people who just need to know a few things when learning the language or to be reminded of simple things from the language. Also, by making it in a game format it is more engaging.

-Makey makey

-Aluminum foil

-Tape/glue

-Scissors

-Paper/ fabric

-Cardboard

1. Trace out four arrows onto the aluminum foil.
2. Trace a rectangle on the aluminum foil for the space.
3. Cut out all five pieces.
4. Place the arrows and space in the desired order that you want onto a piece of fabric or paper.
5. Tape or glue pieces down.
6. Cut out a separate strip of aluminum foil that can fit around your thumb loosely.
7. Make a ring with it and tape it together.
8. Cut out another piece of fabric or paper that is bigger than the original one.
9. Tape the first fabric/paper that has the arrows and space onto the new piece of fabric or paper.
10. Tape ring on to the new paper or fabric to the right of the arrows and space.
11. Cut out holes right above the arrows, space and ring for the alligator clips.
12. Cut out four thin strips of cardboard that fits the length of the bigger paper/ fabric.
13. Put them together making a box with two side open.
14. Attach the paper or fabric to one of the open sides.(If needed add support to the back of the paper using cardboard in a + formation)

1. Start a new scratch project and name it what you want to call it.
2. Create 6 backdrops.
3. The first one will be a backdrop that tells the person to try again and the second will congratulate the person for getting all questions right.
4. The next four backdrops will contain a question with two possibilities, with one being the answer.
5. Coding the backdrop:
   1. When the green flag is clicked go to the backdrop containing your first question. Get the makey makey block containing a sequence of arrows.(Make sure that when one pattern doesn't have a part of another example: Up up down down if you use this and up down both will be activated in the scratch program. So make sure that if it does overlap you either change it so it doesn’t happen or that it overlaps but doesn’t affect what is supposed to happen after the pattern.)
   2. Once you have an arrow pattern picked go back to the back drops and create arrows that correspond to what you picked in the step above.(there should be eight patterns for the four questions)
   3. Attach the blocks to backdrop__ that has another question to the correct answer.
   4. Attach go to backdrop __ to the incorrect answer and this backdrop should be the one where it tells the person to keep trying.
   5. Once this is applied for all eight patternmd the last one that is correct should go to the congratulating backdrop.
   6. OPTIONAL: You can create a fun thing at the end for the person when they win.

1. Attach the alligator clips to the corresponding arrows.
2. Attach the alligator clip to the space on the controller and makey makey.
3. Attach the ground to the ring with alligator clips.
4. Attach makey makey to the device.

• Make sure that the alligator clips are touching the aluminum foil it may seem like it is when it isn’t.
• Make sure when coding that it is all organized because if you make a mistake it may be hard trying to find where it is.

When completed the correct pattern would allow the person to go to the next question and if the incorrect pattern was done it will tell the person to keep on trying. Some advise it to make sure when you are choosing the pattern that there isn't another one that has another part that is similar. (Example: Up down left right and left right, they will both set the code for each and it may not work. When doing the first pattern it will also set off the second.)
