More Typing Games for Kids
I just came across an excellent post today which covers various different games/tutors that are appropriate for children learning how to type. The post (Reverting to Type) covers 5 valuable tools and provides links at the end to access even more. Several of the games / touch-typing tutors highlighted have already been mentioned on this blog, but a couple of them were new to me so I figured I would pass them on to you.
Keyboard Climber
This is a very simple but effective game in which you need to help the monkey climb up towards the sky by pressing the correct letters. Incorrect keystrokes cause you to tumble down and require you to restart the level. Simple yet effective with graphics and sound sure to be catchy to your average 6 year old.

That’s it for now, happy typing!
