Typing Rocket is a keyboarding activity for elementary-age children. The object of the game is to keep the critters from eating the character’s lunch. The program has four levels: easy, medium, and advanced. The advanced stage uses sight words. Turn off the rather annoying music with the on/off switch at the bottom of the game.
In the Classroom
This program is an excellent addition to your keyboarding program. Introduce this site on your interactive whiteboard or as a center on classroom computers. This is a terrific activity when students finish work early. Have students use headphones or silence the sound on the game. Have teams of students come up and type using a portable keyboard or one onscreen.
At Home
Use this site to help your child learn basic keyboarding. It is a great after dinner activity.
