About Long or Short?
Bright bars of different lengths are stacked one under another. An arrow at the top shows what to find: up for the longest bar, down for the shortest. It is an early taste of measuring, with no numbers needed.
How to play
- Check the arrow first: up asks for the longest, down for the shortest.
- Tap the bar that matches the arrow.
- With a keyboard, press 1, 2 or 3 to pick a bar from the top.
