Mouse Practice was a game-based computer tutorial aimed at teaching new users how to operate a computer mouse[1] at a time when many were unfamiliar with this feature of a computer.

Mouse Practice was created using MacroMind Director and released in 1992 by Apple for the Macintosh computer platform. It involved the user learning the key functions of the mouse by controlling a scuba diver in an underwater environment.[1]

Another program, Mouse Basics, served a similar purpose on earlier Macintosh computers, but did not have the game-based approach of Mouse Practice.[2]
