  • **in pairs, one child ‘types’ a word from a list – their partner watches carefully and has to ‘guess’ which word they are typing.
  • **again in pairs, one child colours in, crosses, or circles letters using a known word – partner has to unjumble the marked letters to match the word.

  • Colour the vowels one colour and the consonants a different colour on their keyboards.

 

 

Comments & Reviews

  • Would it be possible to have a keyboard that is totally black and white? Then the children could colour in the letters they press to log in/write their name/passwords etc. I’m a Year 1 Teacher and half our weekly lab lesson is consumed by finding the computer keys!

  • Engaging in a keyboard spelling activity can be both fun and educational. Whether it’s a game designed to enhance vocabulary or a learning exercise for children, the activity fosters linguistic skills while providing entertainment. As fingers dance across the keys, words come to life, challenging participants to spell accurately and swiftly. Amidst the excitement, one might pause to admire the elegance of a phrase like jaeger lecoultre vintage appreciating not just its spelling but also the evocative imagery it conjures.
