The Tick Tock Game

The Tick Tock Game is an activity in JumpStart 1st Grade (1995). It is accessed by clicking on the clock in the classroom, and it is intended to reinforce time skills for first graders.

Premise
The Tick Tock Game is essentially a board game where two players take turns moving their pieces across the board. The colors include red and green. The first player to reach the end wins.

Description
At the beginning of the activity, the player chooses whether they would like to play with Frankie or play with another player. In either case, the game play is basically the same. Both players take turns clicking on the blue analog clock. When the clock is clicked, it will spin to a certain time. Then the player has to find the space on the board that displays the same time as the analog clock. When the player clicks on the correct space, their piece will be moved there. If the player chooses incorrectly, they will not get to move for that turn. The spaces on the board have times of thirty minute intervals ranging from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The first player to reach the end wins.

Digital manual description
Click on the clock to play the Tick Tock Game against Frankie or a friend. When it's your turn to move, click on the hands of the clock and they will spin around and stop at a specific time. Then, you click on the square that correctly represents that time. The first player to reach 9:00 PM wins.

To make this game easier or harder, click on the level gauge at the upper left corner of the screen.

To see how close you are to earning another milk cap, click on the picture of the Milk Cap Mouse in the upper left corner of the screen.

Note: Only the red player's score will be recorded and accumulated towards earning a milk cap in both modes, but in two-player mode, it can't be the green player.

To return to the classroom, click on the big red arrow in the upper left corner of the screen.

Trivia

 * In single-player mode, Frankie is the opponent, but in two-player mode, he is the host.
 * In the single-player tutorial, Frankie says, "We both start here.", but in the two-player tutorial, he says, "Start here.".
 * In the single-player tutorial, Frankie says, "And the first one to reach 9:00 PM wins.", but in the two-player tutorial, he says it without the word "and…".
 * In single-player mode, when Frankie plays, he says, "I'll guess that the clock says (time between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM). After that part, he says, "Oops. Guess I was wrong. The clock is showing (time between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM).".
 * In levels one and two, when the clock stops spinning, Frankie says the time, but in level three, he doesn't say it.
 * In single-player mode, before the green player moves the number of spaces based on the time, Frankie says, "I know that.", but in two-player mode, he says, "That's right! You got it.".
