Typing skills

I'm looking for a website that has a program/game that teaches kids how to type. Any ideas?

 

Hi PinkLily...I'm in Canada, too and I don't know much about the program but the middle school I taught at last year used All the Right Type....the kids seemed to love it.

 

yahoo has a typing game (something about a shark)-I'ts free to do online but yahoo is banned at our school.

We used the program Type to Learn

 

Type to Learn also has a Junior program that works well for our students.

 

Here are some fun sites that have games for learning keys on the keyboard at various levels:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/
http://funschool.kaboose.com/fun-blaster/super-speller/games/game_type_me.html

 

This website is the best I've found for free typing practice. Beyond this, Type to Learn is good but not free.

Here are another couple of fun ones:

There is a fun one on neopets called typing terror, but it is probably also banned at school. might get the kids to play at home though if they are into neopets.
