Students will need to create simple sequential algorithms to make the sprites talk to each other.

- Utilize different panels and function in mBlock 5 while programming
- Define the sequences of the sprites and logically order coding block to generate simple animated effects
- Select appropriate programming scripts to make an animation using their imagination and ideas
