May Turtle Tuesdays

Maybe your birthday isn’t in May, but you probably know someone who has a May birthday.

Let’s celebrate by creating some fun Logo games, food, and decorations!

Can you make some balloons like these?

Try writing a procedure that chooses a random color and a random position to draw each balloon.

Let’s teach the turtle how to juggle!

Juggling can be a fun birthday activity, with or without the turtle.

There are ready-made juggling shapes in Logo’s Toolbox.

Hover over each shape to see its name.

It’s up to you to set the shape, make the turtle bigger and add some timing.

Set the turtle’s shape with an instruction like this: SETSHAPE "|~HOME/TOOLBOX/JUGGLING/JUGGLE0.PNG|

Can you invent your own dart game for you and your friends to play?

First create a dartboard. Use TURTLETEXT if you want to add a point value for each ring.

Either use FORWARD with a number to estimate how far the turtle should move to get to the center.

Or, write a procedure that goes forward a random distance.

It’s up to you to write the rules for your game. Have fun!

Let’s bake a birthday cake! Can you create one with many tiers?

Maybe even put a cherry or other decoration on top!
