3 Typing Games!

I try to post to this blog when I get a few free minutes, which often means on Friday mornings. Today I had a severe case of writers block so I spent a lot of time reading up some typing/keyboard resources for kids. That roughly translates to looking at educational games and trying to find sites that are fun and not too challenging.

Here’s what I came across today:

Arcademic Skillbuilders has some great math and typing games. What I like about this site is that students can join a game or create a game and play other people – all of it in an anonymous fashion. I can’t wait to try some of the typing games with the Intermediate Team.

Typing Adventure is another typing game where the typist races against the clock. I’ll try this out with the second graders.

Another typing game that I found is Alphabet Shoot at SillyJelly.com This game combines simple key recognition with not so simple puzzle solving. This was a big hit with the second grade boys.
