Whack-A-Potato with Scratch and ShrimpKey
I just found this page. Fantastic!
It would be even better to play this with a ShrimpKey and Scratch 2.0!
Here you can see my Scratch-Project and my son playing it with a ShrimpKey.

That is fascinating. Does the child need to wear a wrist band attached to the Shrimp to make the keys work?

Thank you. My son’s wearing a ESD-wrist band. But you can use any conductive material for it (see the first link on this post).
You can also make a very cheap alternative with some aluminum foil and an alligator wire, see this photo.
