Introduction to Click the Dots Puzzles, Double-Clicking Challenge

How To Play:

First students choose a puzzle category. The difficulty increases from top (Letters)to the bottom (Animals). As the puzzles become more challenging, there are more dots to click, and the dots get smaller. Once students choose a category, they then get to choose if they are going to practice single clicking or double clicking. To complete the puzzles, students must find the dots by moving the mouse and then click the dots in number order (starting at the number 1). Each time they successfully click the next dot, more of the picture is drawn. After completing the puzzle, the picture is revealed and the students advance to a new puzzle. Students may earn star stickers for completing all the puzzles in a category.
