Mouse Challenge

🖱️ Scruffy’s Mouse Skills Challenge

"Hi, I’m Scruffy. When I first learned to use the mouse, I felt clumsy. The pointer zoomed across the screen, I clicked the wrong buttons, and sometimes nothing happened at all. But Christopher, the Digital Champion, showed me that practice makes progress. So here’s a challenge you can try — the same one I did when I was learning."

🌀 Practice Activity

Task 1: Click an Icon

• Move the pointer slowly across the desktop.

• Stop on one icon (like “Recycle Bin” or “Word”).

• Press the left button once to select it.

Task 2: Double‑Click to Open a Program

• Move the pointer to the same icon.

• Quickly press the left button twice.

• Watch the program or folder open.

  
  

Task 3: Right‑Click for Options

• Move the pointer to an icon.

• Press the right button once.

• A menu will appear — explore the options, but don’t worry about choosing anything yet.

Task 4: Scroll Down a Page

• Open a program like a web browser or Word.

• Use the scroll wheel in the middle of the mouse.

• Roll it forward to move down, backward to move up.

Task 5: Celebrate Your Progress

• You’ve clicked, double‑clicked, right‑clicked, and scrolled.

• That’s the foundation of mouse skills — and you did it!

✨ Scruffy’s Reflection

"When I first tried this challenge, I made mistakes. Sometimes I clicked too slowly, sometimes too fast. But Christopher reminded me: mistakes are part of learning. With practice, the mouse became my friend — and now it feels natural."
