Trace Shapes

Follow the green dot and draw every shape!

Letter A Stroke 1 of 3

Put your finger on the green dot and trace!

🤔 How to play

Put your finger (or mouse) on the green dot.
Trace slowly along the pale path — your line paints in as you go!
Follow the little green arrow by the dot. It shows which way to go round. Keep going until you are back at the start.
Not sure how? Tap 👀 Show me to watch first.
Traced it? Tap Again with less help to trace the same shape again. First the shape goes faint, then it disappears and you draw it on your own inside a faint dashed box. After that, Next → takes you to the next shape.

Controls

Touch or mouse: press on the green dot and drag along the path. Pressing away from the dot does not start a line. Lift your finger to rest, then touch the end of your line to carry on.
Buttons: pick any of the 12 shapes under ✏️ Pick one to trace. The Trace, Fading and On your own buttons above the board choose how much of the shape to show. 🔄 Start over clears your line.

What it practises

Drawing 12 shapes, from a circle and square to a star and a heart. Each shape is one line that starts and ends at the green dot. The line only paints in while your finger stays close to the path. After On your own, your line is shown on top of the real shape so you can compare them. Ticks for finished shapes last only this visit.

This activity is traced by touch or mouse; there is no keyboard way to trace.
