How to play?
- Tap a square; it turns 90 degrees.
- Start at the spring and make sure every piece connects to the next.
- The path is complete when the water reaches the pond.
Skills it builds
- Direction and rotation (right, left, 90°)
- Building cause-and-effect links
- Thinking backwards: solving from the goal
- Visual tracking
Tips for parents and teachers
- Let your child trace the path with a finger so they spot the gap themselves.
- When stuck, suggest solving backwards from the goal.
- In the paper version, drawing the path with a pencil makes the idea of rotation concrete.
A gentle, untimed take on classic "pipe connection" puzzles. Puzzles progress through 24 levels from easy to hard; the hint button shows the next step rather than the answer.
Using it in class
Solve it together on the interactive whiteboard as a 10–15 minute warm-up: ask students for guesses first, then let a volunteer make the move. The printable version works for learning stations and homework.
