Motion is one of the ten categories of Scratch blocks. They are color-coded medium-blue and are used to control a sprite's movement. The Stage does not have any motion blocks and cannot use them; however, during the Development of Scratch 2.0, the stage had some motion blocks.

There are currently 18 Motion blocks: 15 stack blocks and 3 reporter blocks.
