Create Your Social Story on Scratch

If we can't access the Scratch website or DIY.org, what can we use instead?

Use the Scratch Offline Editor (Scratch Desktop) or ScratchJr to create and save your project locally, export the .sb3 file or record a video of the green-flag test, and upload or email that file later instead of sharing directly on DIY.org.

My characters all speak at once instead of one after another — how do I fix the timing?

Add appropriate 'wait' blocks after each sprite's 'say' block or use 'broadcast' messages so each sprite's script starts only when the previous sprite finishes, matching the instruction to use wait or broadcast for order.

How can I adapt this Scratch social story for younger or older children?

For younger kids keep the script to 3 lines, choose simple sprites and use only 'say' and 'next costume' or basic 'move' blocks, while older kids can add broadcasts, 'if' branching, custom voice recordings and more complex glides or variables for richer interactions.

How can we personalize or extend the finished story beyond the basic steps?

Personalize by uploading photos as sprites or stage backgrounds, record each character's voice with 'play sound', add branching outcomes using 'broadcast' plus 'if' blocks for alternate endings, and refine animations before saving and sharing on DIY.org.
