The teacher provides the children with the link to the web version of the app. Children play the games of 'The Nutcracker' level independently.

Teacher:
“Open the Fortissimo app and select 'The Nutcracker' level. You will find many games that you should play in order. Once you have completed all the games, you can go back to individual ones and play them again.”
Tip
If there aren't enough tablets, iPads or computers available, the class can be divided into two groups, or two or three children can work on one device. Where devices are close to each other, as is often the case in computer rooms, headphones are highly recommended.
