Programme Spark

This Spark is based on the well known game; Minecraft. It is a simple but effective game that allows young people to make things and share them with their friends. It also gives them the opportunity to demonstrate their online safety knowledge.

We suggest you have a few activity bases set up that groups can rotate around.

  • Creeper Bowling
  • Pin the tail on the pig
  • Minecraft blocks from card
  • Ice a brownie as your favourite block
  • Opportunity to play Minecraft on a computer - Use this base to complete the requirements for the Minecrafter fun badge.
  • Identify the parts of a computer
  • Design a game
  • Draw their own Minecraft character
