📚 Topic Summary
In ScratchJr, you can make your characters move using special blocks. These blocks tell the characters where to go and how far to move. You can make them go left, right, up, or down! You can even make them jump or spin around. By putting these blocks together, you create a set of instructions for your character. This set of instructions is called a program. Making your characters move is the first step in creating awesome stories and games in ScratchJr!
Think of it like giving your character a set of directions. You tell them which way to go and how many steps to take. It's super fun and easy!
