Google Tricks

HERE ARE SOME GOOGLE TRICKS THAT MY MUM SHOWED ME AND NOW I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU. I TRIED THESE ON A COMPUTER AND SMART PHONE BUT SOME MIGHT NOT WORK ON SOME PHONES. HAVE YOUR VOLUME TURNED ON TO GET THE FULL EFFECTS 😃

Do a barrel roll

This is one of the most well known tricks. Go to Google and type do a barrel roll in the search box. The page will roll around a couple of times.

Askew

Search for Askew on Google and the page will tilt to the side.

Askew means 'not straight'

Google Gravity

Type in Google Gravity on the home page then click on the I’m feeling lucky button on your computer. After a few seconds, everything will fall down. Google will still work but finding the menus might be a bit hard.

Thanos

If you like Marvel movies then you might like this trick. Search for Thanos on Google and go to the biography on the right-hand side of the page or the top of the screen if you are using a smart phone.

Here you can see the icon in the biography (profile) for Thanos

Now, click on the gauntlet (the yellow hand icon) and watch parts of the page disappear!

Zerg rush

When you type zerg rush in Google, the letter ‘o’ drops from the top and the right of the page and slowly eats up the whole page. You can click on the ‘o’ symbols a few times to try and destroy them.

Tip: If it doesn’t work, type zerg rush into the search bar and then click on the I’m feeling lucky button.

Google Sky

You can fly through space using Google Sky. You can see stars, constellations, galaxies, planets and even our moon. 

Constellations are groups of stars that form a pattern or picture

Bonus Hidden Google Trick [Friends TV show]

If you like this TV show (like my mum does) you might like to try this trick.

Search a main character name with the word ‘friends’. For example, you can search for “Joey Friends” or “Ross Friends” and it will show an icon for each in the biography. Each icon has a special feature. On a smart phone, you will be able to spot it easily. You can also try “Chandler friends” “Phoebe friends” and “Monica friends”.

Tip: If you search “Ross friends” and click on the icon a few times, watch what happens 😀

I did think that these tricks were cool and you should have a go! Maybe you can search for others and tell me your favourites. Have fun 😊
