Wake Up Snoozer!
Grooba! It was hard work, but Boss is very proud of the
new tunnels he dug. As he joins the other hamsters in the
Clubhouse, Pashmina arrives. She and Penelope were designing
a beautiful flower garden for the Sunflower Festival, but
Penelope is missing! Heke? Could she be lost in the tunnels?
Hamgoof! Snoozer is fast asleep, blocking the entrance to the tunnels. Each of
the Ham-Hams has an idea of how to get in the tunnels and rescue Penelope,
but they need your help.

Dig Your Way In with Boss
Boss will give you instructions
and help.
Choose from these tiles to
complete the maze on the
right.
Find a tile that matches one
of this tile’s images.
Click here to place the tile you choose.
Collect a flower by making a match
in this space.
Click here to return to the Ham-Ham
Clubhouse.
With Snoozer blocking the entrance to the tunnels, Boss thinks the best solution
is to dig another tunnel under Snoozer to get to Penelope. After he digs the
tunnels, Boss wants to show the way for the other hamsters. Will you help Boss
by matching the images on the tiles to create a map through the tunnels?
Boss tells you how to work with the tiles, and there is one tile already placed in
the tunnel. This tile contains two images, and you need to find an image that
matches one of the pictures from the tile room on the left of the screen. Click a
tile to pick it up and click again to place it next to the tile in the tunnel. If the
pictures match, the tile sticks in place. If it does not match, the tile snaps back
into the tile room. Match the next image on the end of the tile with another tile
from the stack. When you fill the tunnel with matching tiles, you move on to the
next tunnel with Boss. Complete the activity by mapping three tunnels.
There are flowers scattered throughout the tunnels, and when you place a tile in
the right spot, you receive a flower to add to Pashmina’s flower gardens.
As the adventure becomes more difficult, you match pictures by similar traits, no
longer using identical images. Put on your thinking cap and use your knowledge
of animals and where they live to match the images. For example, ask yourself
“where does it live?” to match a bird with a nest, or a fish with the sea. At the
higher levels the tunnels are more complicated and take more tiles to complete.
Hamtaro™: Wake Up Snoozer!

Catch Butterflies with Dexter & Howdy
Match the image on the back
of a butterfly with the image
on one of their nets.
Use the arrow keys to move
Dexter and Howdy left and
right to catch the butterflies in
their nets.
Click here to return to the
Ham-Ham Clubhouse.
Click here if you need help.
This counter shows how many
butterflies you have caught.
Click Dexter and Howdy in the Ham-Ham Clubhouse. They want to move Snoozer
by lifting him out of the way with butterflies! Follow them to a sunny field,
where they hold a butterfly net between them. Dexter and Howdy need your
help to catch the correct butterflies.
Dexter and Howdy’s butterfly catcher contains three nets, each marked with a
shape. The butterflies flying toward them carry shapes on their backs. Use the
mouse or the j l keys to move the nets back and forth so each butterfly
enters the net with the same shape on it. Avoid catching the butterflies carrying
shapes that don’t match the nets.
As the adventure’s difficulty level increases, the shapes on the butterflies are
divided into pieces. Match the shaded portion of the shape to the image on the
net. At the hardest level, the shaded fractions of the shapes on the butterflies
must match the numeric fraction printed on the nets.
Dexter and Howdy tell you how many butterflies are needed to complete the
activity; at the higher le vels, you must catch more butterflies. The number of
butterflies you have netted so far appears at the bottom-right of the screen.

Collect Ribbons with Bijou
Click the acorn to see it follow
the path you made with the
leaves.
Bijou will collect a ribbon
when you complete a word.
Create a path for the acorn
to the bird’s nest with the
letter you want to use.
Click here to return to the
Ham-Ham Clubhouse.
Click the leaves to make
a path for the acorn.
Brown leaves do not move.
Complete the word that
describes this picture.
Complete this word by leading
the acorn to the bird’s nest
with the correct letter.
This counter shows how many
words you have completed.
Bijou thinks that the Ham-Hams should use ribbons to lift up the sleeping
Snoozer so they can enter the tunnels and look for Penelope. Will you help
Bijou get her ribbons back from the birds nesting in a tree?
On the right of the screen is a picture, and below it is a word with a letter
or letters missing. Which of the three birds is sitting on the letter or letters to
complete the word?
Click the leaves to tilt them and make a path leading to a bird. Then, click the
acorn and watch it roll through the path you have made. When the acorn lands
on a bird’s head it flies away. If you have made a path to the correct answer,
Bijou scampers over to collect a ribbon. If you don’t choose the correct bird,
you get a surprise!
Bijou tells you how many ribbons she needs, and the number of ribbons she has
gathered appears at the bottom-right of the screen.
More flowers for the Design a Garden activity will appear randomly in the nest
when correct matches are made.
At the higher levels, it is harder to make paths for the acorns because some of
the leaves cannot be moved, and the words are more challenging to solve.

Build a Contraption with Panda
Click a board on one side of
the workshop to select it.
Click to place the board inside
Panda’s red wagon.
Find the board on the other
side of the workshop that
matches the one in his wagon.
Click it and click the wagon to
create a match.
Click here to return to the
Ham-Ham Clubhouse.
This counter shows how many
matches you have made.
Panda wants to make a lifting machine to move Snoozer away from the tunnel
entrance. Can you help him build his contraption from the materials in the
workshop?
Wasa-wasa. Panda pulls his red wagon through the workshop, looking for boards
to use for construction. You can help him by matching the values on the boards
he passes. Click on a board on one side of the workshop to select it, then click
to place it in Panda’s wagon. Next, find a board containing the equal value from
the other side of the workshop. Click that board and place it in the wagon beside
the first piece.
The solutions can be made by matching identical numbers, or matching four
nails on a board with the number four. At the higher levels, you’ll match
equations with solutions, for example, 4 + 1 matches with 5.
Panda will tell you how many boards to match so he can build his lifting
contraption, and your total appears at the bottom-right of the screen.
If there’s a flower in the wagon when you make a match, you get to keep that
flower to use in creating your flower garden.

Lead the Ham-Hams to the
tunnel exit. To complete the
adventure, you must lead
the number of Ham-Hams
indicated through the door.
Click here to return to the
Ham-Ham Clubhouse.
Oopaa! You’ve helped the other Ham-Hams move Snoozer, opening the tunnels
where Penelope is lost. Join forces with Hamtaro and the other Ham-Hams.
Guide them safely through the tunnels to rescue Penelope!
Ticky-ticky, ticky-ticky! The Ham-Hams keep walking, and it’s up to you to lead
them to the correct exit, using the tools at the top of the screen. Click the tool
of your choice, then click where you want to use the tool in the tunnel. If you
want to remove a tool, click it again.
As you lead the Ham-Hams, guide them over the flowers scattered in the
tunnels to collect them for your flower garden.
The exit door will show you how many Ham-Hams you must get through.
When Ham-Hams go through a wrong door, they become lost. With fewer
Ham-Hams, it’s more difficult to lead the required number to the proper exit.
When you succeed, another maze of tunnels will appear.
At the more difficult levels, you have more tools to work with, and more
obstacles. The maze of tunnels is more complicated, and you must lead more
Ham-Hams to the exits.
Let’s go - Penelope’s waiting to be rescued!

Tools to use in the tunnels:
Build bridges with these logs to cross over gaps in the tunnel.
Bounce the Ham-Hams up-and-left or up-and-right using these
bouncy mushrooms.
Use the dandelion cushions to soften their landing from a fall.
When a Ham-Ham meets a boulder, it will turn around and go the
other direction.
Use the shovels to dig down through the tunnel to the right or left.
Lead the correct number of Ham-Hams through the tunnels to the exit and you
will find Penelope.

Educational Focus
Wake Up Snoozer! provides engaging learning opportunities for children age four
to seven.
The educational activities develop skills in mathematics, language arts, logical
thinking, problem solving, and life science. Multiple levels provide a variety of
challenges, and the auto-leveling feature ensures that the content and difficulty
is appropriate for each child’s skill level.
Wake Up Snoozer! addresses the following content and skill areas:
phonics
number sense
simple addition and subtraction
geometric shapes
logical thinking
comparing and matching
pattern recognition
simple fractions
Dig Your Way in with Boss
In this activity, players carefully examine pictures of animals and plants in order
to identify matching relationships. At the easiest level, players simply match
identical pictures of animals and plants. Higher levels introduce elements of
life science, as children use their understanding of animal and plant traits to
determine which pictures should be matched together. In addition, the puzzle
involves logical thinking, as the player must decide how to place each picture
tile so that all the pieces fit correctly. Multiple matches add to the thinking
challenge.
Catch Butterflies with Dexter & Howdy
This activity challenges children to match and sort objects according to shapes
and fractions. At the easiest level, players catch butterflies with matching
whole shapes. As the difficulty increases, shapes are shown with fractional
lines, making the matches harder. The highest level introduces simple fractions:
players match a divided shape shown on each butterfly’s back with a numeric
fraction shown on a net.
Hamtaro™: Wake Up Snoozer!

Collect Ribbons with Bijou
This phonics activity reinforces phonemic awareness and challenges players
to identify letters that form the beginning and ending letter sounds of words.
Lower levels focus on beginning and ending consonants, while higher levels
introduce short vowels, blends, and digraphs. The activity also integrates logical
thinking and spatial reasoning skills, as the player must alter the acorn’s path
and make predictions to reach the correct answer.
Build a Contraption with Panda
In the beginning level of this activity, players match visual quantities (nails in the
pieces of wood) to numerals. Children use these concrete objects and pictures
to build number sense and represent object quantities with numeric symbols.
As the difficulty level increases, players match simple addition equations with
the correct sums. These levels also encourage players to think of multiple ways
that a number can broken into smaller parts. For example, the number 8 can
match to several different equations, such as 6 + 2, 4 + 4, and 1 + 7. The highest level allows for multiple solutions by providing several different equations
that can equal the same sum.
Tunneling for Penelope
Tunneling for Penelope is a fast-paced thinking challenge, as you analyze the
various tools and figure out how they can be used to guide the hamsters to their
goal. Players experiment with each tool and begin to form hypotheses about
how they help create new paths. Learning how to best use each tool requires
careful observation, and eventually players must find a sequence of placements
to reach the tunnel’s end. Higher levels introduce new tools and more obstacles,
and challenge players to discover new uses for each tool.
