You’ve Unlocked the Next Level!
You’re doing great and have learned so much – but wait… there’s more! Next we will look at three-finger gestures. These give you faster ways to move around your screen, read text, and switch pages.
The big idea: three-finger gestures let you scroll and flip pages instead of swiping one item at a time.
How to Do a Three-Finger Swipe
Three-finger swipes can go up, down, left, or right.
- Place three fingers together lightly on the screen.
- Keep your fingers close together, like a little “paw.”
- Slide all three fingers together in one direction: up, down, left, or right.
- Lift your fingers at the end of the swipe.
- If it doesn’t work the first time, try again slowly and make sure all three fingers move at the same time.
On the next pages, you’ll “pretend swipe” by activating buttons that simulate three-finger swipes.
What Three-Finger Swipes Are For
The three-finger left, right, up, and down swipes help you move through long or multi-page content.
-
Three-finger swipe up / down:
- Scroll up and down on long webpages.
- Move through long lists or text documents.
-
Three-finger swipe left / right:
- Flip between pages in a book or journal.
- Navigate between Home Screens (you can have more than one).
- Scroll sideways across wide content, like a spreadsheet.
You’ll practice all of these in the three-finger games that follow.
Next, you’ll enter a practice area where you use three-finger gestures to:
- Scroll a jungle map using three-finger swipe up and down.
- Flip through a jungle journal using three-finger swipe left and right.
- (Optional recap page) Choose the best three-finger gesture for each jungle situation.
When you finish the three-finger games, you’ll move on to four-finger gestures in a separate lesson.
