Clock Tables

Educational game for helping to learn the Times Tables. To play the game you have to find all the cards for each position of the clock without turning over all four Clock Centres. The four clock centres are the cards with a blue dot in the middle. There are 52 cards as in a normal pack, 4 for each position. Reveal all four Clock Centres before finding all the others and the game is over. On the first screen there are 12 buttons, one for each table. Click on the table that you would like to try. On the main screen the cards are laid out in the form of a clock. On each card is the answer for each of the problems i.e. if you select the 2 times table, 24 will be at the 12 o'clock position (2 x 12 = 24) at the top, 12 at the bottom or half past position (2 x 6 = 12) etc. The cards are all ready dealt face down and randomly, so they are not in the right order. Basically you start by left clicking on the card which reads Click Me in the middle and it will turn over. Holding your left hand mouse button down and with the pointer over this card, drag it to it's correct pile in the clock face. If it is the correct pile then the card will be placed at the bottom of that pile. A new Click Me card will then appear in the centre for you to continue. You then drag and drop this on to the right pile and so on. The game is over when you have placed all the cards in the right place before finding all four Clock Centres or when all the Centres have been revealed. You will notice that points are added when you drag the card to the correct place. The quicker you find the right place the more points you score up to a maximum of 1000 for each card (I defy anyone to get 1000 for each one, you would have to move at the speed of light!!!). Score a high enough number and earn a certificate. If this happens, a rolled up certificate will appear. Click on it to access your certificate. A button will appear at the end of the game to let you play another game. You can view the Certificate Screen by selecting it in the top menu under Options. If you want to start from the beginning then click New in the top menu under Game. To Exit the Game select Quit in the same top menu. Play Mix Up - By clicking this button on the main screen, the card answers will be jumbled up, making the game much more difficult. Playing the game this way scores double points for each correct answer.
