Challenge 1
Type in your home address.
- Make sure you're using Google Chrome as your web browser. If not please click and install it.
- Drag the little yellow man in the bottom right corner onto the street in front of your house.
- Place him on the blue line or dots that appear.
- Does it look the same as it is now?
- Move up and down the street and check out your neighbours houses.
- Do you notice anything interesting?
Challenge 2
Type in the address of somewhere special to you.
- A place you have been on holiday, the place you grew up or created a great memory!
- Explore around the area by moving your little yellow man, scrolling or dragging your mouse from side to side.
Challenge 3
Visit somewhere in the world that you have always wanted to go but have not got there yet.
- Let your imagination run wild!
- Try placing your man on the different blue dot icons that appear when you move him, and see how the images differ at each icon.
- Go ahead and visit some other places you've always wanted to visit?
