We received feedback about adding a gamification aspect to the program and we delivered! Typing games are designed to make practice more fun while helping students improve speed, accuracy, and confidence as they type.
​

Typing games are interactive activities where students type words correctly to earn points within a set time. The games use words from the last five modules in a level, helping students review and reinforce what they’ve learned. This helps promote word retention while improving accuracy and speed, all in a fun and engaging way.
​

Typing games are locked by default. Students need to complete the previous five modules to unlock them and start playing.

Typing games are located under the General tab in Settings. By default, they are turned off, giving parents, admins, and teachers full control over when they are enabled for students.

There are three engaging typing games available: Word Drop, Fishing for Words, and Typing Trail. Each game offers three difficulty levels, Easy, Medium, and Hard, to match different skill levels. As students progress, the challenge increases in ways specific to each game. In Word Drop and Fishing for Words, the speed increases with higher difficulty, encouraging quicker responses and helping students improve typing speed under pressure. In Typing Trail, the path becomes longer as difficulty rises, helping students build typing endurance and maintain consistency.

Each game is timed at 60 seconds, encouraging students to type as many correct words as they can within the time limit, which helps improve both accuracy and speed. Students can also pause or skip a game at any time and return to their regular modules, allowing them to continue learning at their own pace.

In Word Drop, words appear attached to parachutes floating in the sky. Students must type each word correctly before it falls or disappears from the screen. This game challenges students to react quickly and accurately, helping improve both typing speed and precision under time pressure.
​

In Fishing for Words, colorful fish carry words and swim across the screen, coming from either the left or right side. Students need to type each word correctly before it disappears. This game adds a playful, visual element while reinforcing typing skills, keeping students engaged as they race to catch and type the words in time.
​

In Typing Trail, students move along a trail by typing words correctly. As the difficulty increases, the trail becomes longer, requiring more sustained focus and consistency. This game encourages students to maintain accuracy and develop typing endurance, making it a great exercise for building long-term typing skills.
​

​

Students can customize their game experience directly within the game screen by clicking the cog icon, which opens the game settings menu. This allows them to adjust the game based on their preference and comfort level.
​

From here, students can choose the difficulty level, Easy, Medium, or Hard, depending on how challenging they want the game to be. Lower levels are more relaxed and suitable for practice, while higher levels increase the challenge to help improve speed and focus.

Students can also select their preferred visual style. The Basic visuals option offers a simpler and less distracting layout, which can help students focus on typing. Lite visuals provide a balance between simplicity and visual elements, while Full visuals include more detailed and engaging graphics for a more immersive game experience. These options allow students to choose what works best for their learning and enjoyment.
​

Typing games are turned off by default so parents, admins, and teachers have full control over when they are available. They can be enabled for individual students or for a group by going to Settings, turning on Enable typing games, choosing the number of games allowed, and saving the changes.

Typing games add a fun and engaging way for students to build their typing skills. With flexible settings and multiple game options, you can easily tailor the experience to suit different learning needs. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our friendly support team.
