Keyboarding starts in the Elementary

For ages learning has been said to activate the following three human senses at the same time: seeing, hearing and motoric. No doubt keyboarding requires all those senses too. Conscious thinking takes place in the big brain of a human body. The big brain forms a so-called learning centre. The small brain guides automatic functions. Learning a new skill requires first conscious thinking of the matter to be learnt. After that muscles will get commands from the brain to carry out the required task. The automatic use of a keyboard is learnt exactly that way. All keys and symbols of the keyboard are divided into specific groups based on their location. Basic keys for the left hand are A S D F and for the right-hand J K L and semi-colon on American keyboards. From this so-called home row position, the finger movements are as short as possible when the correct touch-type technique is used.

Learning is an overall process of receiving, modifying and interpreting information. The human brain is wiser than a computer can ever be. The left side of the human brain includes all logic-analytical functions based on knowledge whereas the right side could be called "the manager of creativity". When learning to type, the right side of the brain is in charge of the thinking process, analyzing instructions and making the fingers then hit the correct keys.

Digitalization has brought laptops, Chromebooks, PCs, and tablets into everyday use in schools. Even kindergartners are already using different devices to learn new things. The keyboard is an essential part of using digital devices, and practicing to touch-type is gaining more and more momentum. While the smallest of learners don't need to know how to touch-type when going to school, it's never too early to get familiar with the keyboard. Typewriter games on our website provide a welcome practice for learners, starting their keyboarding lessons later on. Studies show that kids build a positive, rewarding, and encouraging relationship for typing through playing typewriter games.

Young learners can start with easy introductory games such as Key Memory Game, which improves both concentration and keyboarding skills. This brain game enables kids to train their memory, and the goal is to memorize and find pairs of the same cards and finally turn over pairs of matching cards with the keyboard. Kids are not required to know how to type, but they will start learning the keys on the keyboard, which helps when learning to touch-type later on.

How to engage students to learn how to type?

The history of typewriters dates back at least to 1714, when Englishman Henry Mill filed a patent for "an artificial machine or method for the impressing or transcribing of letters singly or progressively one after another". The first practical modern typewriter was patented in 1868 by C. L. Sholes, S. W. Soule and G. Glidden. It was not a great success but it founded a worldwide industry and brought mechanization to dreary, time-consuming office work. Qwerty keyboard was invented by C. L. Sholes and it was granted patent in 1878. The name "Qwerty" comes from the first six letters in the top alphabet row. In 1933 IBM revolutionized the industry by combining typewriters and electricity. Initially people learned to type in a classroom or from a book.

Typewriting is a skill everyone should be able to perform accurately, swiftly and automatically. Automaticity frees some of the limited capacity of short-term memory for other uses. Short-term memory, also frequently called working memory, is where learning and thinking activities occur.

Advancing keyboarding skills is at the heart of many teachers. They want to see their kids type quickly, just as bad as each kid wants to be the fastest typist. Each gaming app associated with our website provides a different interface, theme, or strategy to be utilized when participating. Some videogames feature different levels from easy to hard. The differentiation between each level can help give students a goal to strive for. This keeps the kids interested and focused on the task at hand. If your school is already using a keyboarding program, our gaming site offers lots of extra material to keep students motivated.

One of our most popular games, Typing Attack, is an educational game where you learn to type words quickly. Your mission is to attempt to survive an attack in space. Approaching ships are identified as words, and you must type those words to destroy the ship before it reaches and destroys you. Higher difficulty levels are available, allowing the player to choose a more leisurely learning pace or turn up the challenge to a more high-intensity laser-blasting affair. Typing Attack is perfect for older students to hone their keyboarding skills and have fun at the same time.

How to teach where all the letters are on the keyboard?

Learning the entire keyboard can often be difficult. Fingers that are being used for typewriting should be limited to very few in the beginning. Our gaming website offers the ability to learn different portions of the keyboard at once. Home row, extended home row, upper row, all letters, a combination of letters and numbers, and 10-key options headline the different courses of action for the individual. This can benefit the teachers in the sense of a proper lesson plan. The teacher can ask everyone to start with home row keys only (with our Dance Mat and Type And Run Game) and then progress slowly to all letters on the keyboard with KeyMan and KeyTower. After each key has first been trained separately, it's a good time to start to type words by playing TypingRace and TypingAttack. This kind of "bottom to up" learning process supports all kids.

The development of various free keyboarding online websites such as TypeTastic has made some incredible progress in recent history. Students have been able to benefit from the new innovations and teachers have gotten useful tools to promote valuable keyboarding skills. Nowadays keyboarding practice lessons can be more fun than ever in history! Now you can arrange a short summer keyboarding camp every day.
What are the primary advantages of keyboarding skills for kids?
The fingers will develop the muscle memory.
Hand-eye coordination gets a lot better.
Alternative method for students having issues with handwriting.
Increase words per minute speed and accuracy.
Kids learn also spelling words and vocabulary.
Better work opportunities when kids are adults.

      Simple and fun games for New Year's Eve parties

      December 17, 2014 Inspiration A life

      For those who don't want to spend the New Year holidays eating salads in front of the TV, Lifehacker has made a selection of simple and fun games. They are suitable for friendly parties, corporate parties, and for family gatherings.

      Stalker sticker

      Do you like Stalker? You can tickle your nerves not only at abandoned military-industrial facilities, but also at a party. This game is perfect for a company of close friends, and for an unfamiliar team. nine0003

      Materials
      Stickers (for example, in the form of snowflakes) - 5-10 pieces per participant.

      Players task
      Get rid of stickers.

      Rules
      Distribute stickers to guests. You must stick your stickers to the clothes and body of other players, but in a way that they do not notice. If you are spotted, then the sticker that you failed to attach will be on you. The first person to get rid of all the stickers wins.

      White elephant

      — What are you doing, what kind of fool is this?
      - It's not a fool, it's a horse!
      - Wow, a present for yourself, well, a present . .. such a huge fool.
      - You yourself are a fool, it's a horse.
      - Well, where am I going to put her, such a fool? You should have secured the merry-go-round... Okay, like, thanks.

      film "Masyanya"

      One of the kings of Siam was a cunning fellow. He gave a white elephant to noble, but unsympathetic people. The catch is that white elephants in the Thai region were considered sacred - they could not be worked on. Since then, the white elephant has symbolized an expensive, pompous, but impractical, and sometimes burdensome gift. nine0003

      The Christmas game of the same name is a variation of Secret Santa. The only task is not to guess the desire of a friend, but rather to surprise him... :)

      Materials
      Gifts. It can be both new things (then discuss the budget in advance), and second-hand (unnecessary, but it's a pity to throw it away).

      Examples:

      • collection of works by Daria Dontsova;
      • egg cutter;
      • deer tapestry 1974 (original) and so on.

      Player task
      "Make" a friend happy with your gift and "steal" a tolerable present for yourself.

      Rules
      Place all gifts (preferably well wrapped) in a common bag. At an appropriate time in the evening, announce a gift exchange. Number your guests. The first participant takes the gift out of the bag and unpacks it. This is one round of the game. The next lucky person then takes out their prize or steals it from the previous player. At the same time, the person from whom the gift was stolen can take a new one from the bag or, if more than three rounds have been played, steal it from one of the participants. nine0003

      There are two "don'ts" regarding "stealing" gifts:

      • you cannot steal a gift that has just been stolen from you - you must wait at least one round;
      • you cannot steal more than one gift per round.

      Read about all the subtleties of the "White Elephant" and game variations here.

      Christmas tree, burn!


      Both children and adults love to decorate the Christmas tree. But it’s one thing to dress up calmly, at home, with toys, garlands and tinsel, and another thing at a party, racing and don’t understand what. This game will amuse participants and spectators. You can sing “... and here she came to us dressed up for the holiday” and take pictures with the original Christmas tree. nine0003

      Materials

      • Two small Christmas trees (artificial or real).
      • Items theoretically not intended to decorate a Christmas tree. For example, sock, ballpoint pen, soft toy and so on.

      The task of the players
      Show imagination and decorate the Christmas tree with the proposed "decorations".

      Rules
      The game can be built on the principle of a duel, or you can divide the participants into two teams and compete collectively. Determine the time in which the players (teams) must submit their Christmas tree design. To make dressing up more fun, pick up incendiary music. The one (those) who will decorate the prickly beauty in an original way will win. nine0003

      Tarantinos

      Olaf Speier/Shutterstock.com

      One cool movie was played by sticking pieces of paper on their foreheads and guessing who is who. Since then, this fun, known as "Who am I?", "I am a character", has a new name - "Tarantinki". But whatever you call it, the game is fun and exciting.

      Materials

      • Stickers.
      • Handles.
      • Wild imagination.

      Players task
      Guess which character you are. nine0003

      Rules
      Players form a circle and invent a character for the neighbor on the right (or left, as you like). The character can be the hero of a book or movie, a famous historical or living person. To give the game a New Year's flavor, agree that the characters will be appropriate: the Snow Maiden, the deer Rudolph, Peter the Great (the founder of the modern New Year), and so on. Write the name of the hidden character on a sticker and stick it on your neighbor's forehead.

      Then take turns asking questions about your characters. “Am I human?” “Am I male?” “Do I have horns?” and the like. The rest of the players can only answer “yes” or “no”, so it is important to formulate questions correctly. The game continues until everyone is declassified. nine0003

      Ice cubes

      In Andersen's fairy tale, a shard of a magic mirror hit Kai in the heart and made him cold and insensible. So that the spell of the Snow Queen does not touch you, play this fun outdoor game.

      Materials

      • Ice cubes (the bigger the harder).
      • Stopwatch.

      Players task
      Melt the ice cubes.

      Rule
      You can choose two players and play in several rounds, or you can compete as a team. The essence in both cases is the same: melt the ice in the allotted time (3-5 minutes - depends on the size of the cube). How? All resources are good! Breathe on it, rub it between your palms, put it under your clothes. The only restriction is that you cannot prick and melt with a lighter. The first person to turn ice into water wins.

      New Year's forfeits

      Translated from German "fant" means "pledge". The game, where the participants gave away some thing, and then “redeemed” it, completing the task, was known and loved back in the 19th century. Over the years, the game has acquired many variations. One of them is New Year's. nine0003

      Materials

      • Hat or puff bag.
      • Cards with tasks.

      The task of the players
      Perform your phantom.

      Rules
      Players place one personal item in a hat or bag. Then the leader takes out these items in turn. The participant whose phantom fell out must draw out a card with a task for himself and complete it. Assignments must be New Year's. For example, portray the chiming clock, sing the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest” or tell a poem about Santa Claus. nine0003

      Draw

      Many people know and love the game "Crocodile", or in other words "Associations". "Draw" (in English-speaking countries - Pictionary) - its analogue. This is a fun creative game, which is better to play in a big company.

      Materials

      • Drawing boards or paper.
      • Markers.
      • Cards with tasks.

      The task of the players
      Guess what the player of your team is drawing. nine0003

      Rules
      Prepare task cards. For a New Year's party, they can be like this: ice, Russian salad, cotton beard, and so on. Divide into two teams. From each in turn choose "artists". They have to draw what is written on the card. The task of the team is to guess the "code word" faster than the rivals. The team that guesses the most words wins.

      Letter to Santa Claus

      Materials

      The task of the players
      Come up with intricate adjectives.

      Rules
      The legend is as follows: the host (hostess) of the evening composed a letter to Santa Claus, but did not finish it. The guests need to help him (her) in this - complete the message with adjectives. The text of the letter can be thought up specially for the gathered company. Something like this:

      _______________ Grandfather Frost!

      All ____________ guests are looking forward to your arrival ______________. Our ____________ women and at least _______________ men gathered to spend the old year, which brought many _______________ events to everyone. New Year is the most ______________ holiday of the year. With ______________ mood we will say _______________ toasts, lead _______________ round dances for you, dance _____________ dances! _______________ New Year is finally here! nine0003

      After writing the missing words, the letter is solemnly read to the guests. The more extravagant the adjectives, the funnier it will be.

      Mafia Age category: 6+.
      Game type: intellectual psychological detective.
      Number of players: 5 or more.
      When it comes to games for a large company, many people first of all remember the "Mafia", which conquered the whole world and won a lot of fans. To play intelligent detective, you will need a deck of special cards that you can purchase online or draw yourself. You can also create your own card templates and order their printing in any edition. Well, if the above options are not suitable, take the most ordinary cards and agree with your friends what roles you will give them. For example: Spades - Mafia, Ace of Spades - Mafia Boss, Jack of Hearts - Doctor, King of Hearts - Commissioner and so on. To prevent players from peeping at each other, it is advisable to wear masks or bandages as soon as the city falls asleep. nine0002

      The essence of the game
      There are three parties in the game: Mafia, Civilians and Maniac. The goal of the mafia is to kill players at night and execute during the day, posing as goodies. The goal of the Citizens is to find and execute the Mafia. A maniac is a self-willed person who kills everyone indiscriminately.
      Characters
      The classic version has active and passive characters. The host is a passive character, does not affect the course of the game, but coordinates the actions of all its participants.
      Evil characters: Mafia (consists of the Boss and his henchmen), Maniac. nine0013 Good characters: Commissar, Doctor, Civilians.
      Peaceful Citizens are passive players: they sleep at night, but they can vote during the day, sending objectionable people to death.
      Mafia wakes up at night.
      The Mafia Boss selects a victim to be stabbed. In the event of the death of the Boss, his post is taken by another mafia.
      Maniac hits any player at night.
      Commissioner can check any player at night. If that player has been visited by the Mafia or the Maniac, the Commissar's check scares away criminals, saving the player's life. nine0013 The Doctor also makes his move at night and can heal anyone (one player) by canceling the killing move of the Mafia or Maniac.


      Game progress

      The game is divided into periods - day and night. On the first day, the Host distributes cards to the players, after which the first night begins. On the first night (at the command of the Leader), the players wake up in turn, letting him know who has what role. The mafia get to know each other and find out who got the role of Boss. All players wake up during the day. The host briefly describes the events of the previous night. For example: “The mafia struck, but the visit of the Commissar frightened off the bandits. The maniac brutally mocked another victim all night, but the Doctor managed to save the poor fellow. These hints allow players to identify the opponent. This is followed by a vote, during which each player can propose a candidate for execution. By carefully examining the arguments and the suspects, one can spot the mafiosi, as they tend to be unanimous in daytime voting. However, dexterous players know how to splurge, blaming each other during the day (but only if the execution of the ally is clearly not in danger). After the execution, the dead man's card is revealed and everyone sees his role. Then night falls on the city and the active players make their move again. The game ends with the victory of the Peaceful, if all the Mafs and the Maniac are killed. The mafia wins when it remains in the majority. With a successful combination of circumstances, the Maniac can win, left alone with a passive player. nine0013 In addition to the classic story, there are many different options for the game. We advise you to choose the most creative friend with an excellent sense of humor for the role of the Lead. You can use references to various books and films in your competitions. So, for example, the story about vampires and werewolves has become popular, where the role of the Boss is played by Count Dracula, Dr. Frankenstein heals from ailments, and the Commissioner turns into Helsing or Buffy. The more friends you have, the more characters you can bring into the game, making it even more fun! nine0002
