How to use this program with kids from 4 to 9
1. Supervise the name entry. Correct wrong entries by clicking the NAME button.
If necessary enter yourself the name of the player at each program start.
2. Observe the player while doing the first games.
Assist by asking questions or directing the attention to details.
If you see that the first games are too difficult have the player do the
mouse training and/or the preliminary practice games.

Mouse training:
The cursor appears as a ball.
The task requires moving the ball on the gray street to another child without touching the lawn.
While the ball is on the street you hear some music. When it touches the lawn the music stops.
When it reaches another child the melody changes.
The idea of this simple game is to experience the relationship between mouse and
cursor movement without looking at the mouse.
Tell the player where the ball should go. „ Move the ball to the boy with the red jacket“.
3. General rule for all games: Stop the game session when you feel the player is getting tired -
either by exiting the program or by letting another player start.
5 to 15 minutes is normally the limit for one round of games.
