Keyboard Game for Kids: Defend the Beach by Typing

About Keyboard Game for Kids

This keyboard game for kids turns typing practice into a naval battle: a fleet of ships approaches the coast and the only way to stop it is to type on the keyboard the letters and words each one carries. Every correct keystroke fires your cannon, so the faster and more accurately you type, the sooner you'll sink the enemies. It's a very motivating way to work on keyboard skills for kids, because the little one doesn't feel like they're doing exercises, just defending their beach. If you're looking for more activities to practice typing on the computer, take a look at our typing games. Since the words appear in English (short words like it o just), it also reviews basic vocabulary in that language.

How do you play this keyboard game in Keyboard Game for Kids?

The ships come down the screen toward the sand, each with a word on top. To attack one, type that word letter by letter: every correct key launches a projectile. If a ship reaches the beach, your defense loses energy, and the game ends when the bar runs out.

1. Find the ship that's closest to the coast.
2. Type its word on the keyboard, letter by letter.
3. Move on to the next target before it reaches the beach.

• Place your hands correctly: resting your index fingers on the F and J keys helps you find the rest of the letters without searching.
