Dots for the small parts

A small dot marks the exact spot, for parts a numbered square would cover: a chain, a spoke, a valve.

When to use it

A bike maintenance or workshop session, where the parts that matter are thin and close together. Lab equipment or a circuit, where a numbered square would hide the very thing it points at. A health and safety induction on the controls of a machine.

What makes it this

Built on the Label this image generator with these changed. Everything else is the default.

A dot marks the exact spot, because a numbered square would cover the very part it is pointing at. Pick each part from the list beside its number — the list gets shorter as you get them right.

Why the example is built this way

  1. An angle where every part shows.

    Pick a picture where each part is separately visible, like a straight side view. A dot on a part nobody can make out is marking a smudge.

  2. Room to the right of every dot.

    The dot sits on the exact spot and its number hangs to its right. Place each one where there's a little clear space beside it, so the number doesn't land on the next part.

  3. Names offered, not typed.

    Part names are easy to get slightly wrong, singular or plural, so Word bank is on and each blank becomes a dropdown. The list shrinks as parts come right, which keeps it a puzzle to the last dot.
