We've created a starter project that has a map of Ireland and a map of the world. Open this starter project by clicking on the following link:

Add the sprite called 'Green Flag' from the sprite library.

Show: Scratch: How to add a sprite from the library

---

To add a sprite from the sprite library follow these steps:

1. Put your mouse over the Choose a Sprite button
2. Click on the magnifying glass
3. Find the sprite you want in the library
4. Click on your chosen sprite

You can use search box or the filter links (Animals, People, Fantasy etc) to locate your sprite.

We now need to create an extra costume for this sprite, a version of it that is a red flag.

Duplicate the Green Flag costume and then use the paint bucket tool to change the colour of the flag red.

Don't forget to name the new costume 'Red Flag'!

Add the Pen Extension so that we can use the Pen blocks and then add the following code to the flag sprite to set it up for the start.

when green flag clicked erase all switch costume to (green flag v) set size to (20) %

Show: Scratch: How to add extension blocks

Scratch Extensions make it possible to connect Scratch projects with external hardware (such as LEGO WeDo or micro:bit), sources of information on the web (such as Google Translate and Amazon Text to Speech), or blocks allowing for more advanced functionality.

When an extension is enabled, its blocks appear in a location with the same name as the extension.

To load an extension, click the icon in the bottom-left hand corner of the screen and select an extension.

We're going to give the flag instructions so that it goes to wherever your mouse pointer is. Add the following code underneath the code in the previous step:

when green flag clicked erase all switch costume to (green flag v) set size to (20) % // add the new code under here forever go to (mouse pointer v) end

Test out your code and make sure that the flag is following your mouse pointer!
