Easy, use Take:
Manipulate[
Graphics[{PointSize -> Large, Point[Take[place, i]]}, Frame -> True,
PlotRange -> {{1, 10}, {1, 10}}], {i, 1, 4, 1}]

Needless to say the above is a trivial example, in practice I could have 10s of thousands of points and so want to be careful not to create very large arrays.
