Games for manipulating the mouse are collected in this room. These are the games, with which usually starts computer education of children, because they include gaining skills for working with computer systems. There are four main movements when manipulating the mouse:
- free movement of the mouse on the pad
- positioning and holding the mouse cursor over screen objects
- simple click with a mouse button
- dragging an object with pressed mouse button
The games in this room are designed exactly for learning and mastering these movements. There are three games –
"Silhouettes",
"Shadows" and
"Sounds".
Except skills for manipulating the mouse, these games also train visual and hearing perceptions of the children. They develop the language and speech, the abstract-logical way of thinking, the ability to compare and differ colorful objects, shadows and their names too.

The game "Silhouettes" is designed to train the free movement of the mouse. It contains three levels.
In the first level on random screen places appears a yellow silhouette. The mouse pointer, which has the same form, goes in the center of the screen. The user has to move the mouse over the silhouette, which stays still, and to cover it. When he succeeds, the silhouette becomes a colorful picture, and automatically a new combination loads on the screen. The second level situation is the same, but with several silhouettes at once loaded.
In the third level the mouse takes its own form and an animated picture is loaded on the screen. The user has to move the mouse pointer to the picture. When he succeeds the animation begins.
It is possible to make a custom setup, considering number of objects on the screen in the first two levels, and in the third level the size of the mouse pointer could be changed.
