Aim for this result
Score at least three of five penalties. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
How to proceed
- Aim inside the goal.

- A save or outside shot misses.
- Finish all five.
Choosing and moving on screen
Pointer/touch, aim buttons and Shoot. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Learn from a sample situation
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
An important reminder
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
