Keyboarding Activities for Elementary Students

Activity ideas

• Class race day: everyone races the Daily Tournament passage and the class compares its average WPM to last week's.
• Star hunt: students try to earn three stars on any five lessons this week.
• Keyboard map: students color a printed keyboard by finger, using the colors from the on-screen guide.
• Partner coach: one student types while a partner watches posture and reminds them not to look down.

Make goals personal

Set class goals for accuracy, then let each student pick a personal speed goal. Reaching your own goal feels better than ranking against classmates.
