Dance Mat Typing

Curriculum

Do you have kids or students who want to learn how to type? Dance Mat Typing by the BBC is a good choice. It is interactive, fun, free and easy-to-use for kids; the system is complete with animated animal characters, graphics and sounds. We provide friendly menus or lists and other cool stuff to make it easier for you and your kids to use Dance Mat Typing to effectively learn how to type. Dance Mat Typing is structured as a series of four levels with three stages for each level (you can find them in the menu above). The animated animal teachers take kids through each of the 12 stages, narrating and showing them where to place their fingers on the keyboard, which fingers to use to type particular keys with onscreen cartoon hands. At the end of each stage, there is always a song by the teacher and his or her supporting cast to celebrate the kids’ accomplishments. Dance Mat Typing will help your kids learn to type – or if they can type already, it’ll help them get better and better! No signing up or logging in; the clear instructions and simple interface may very well allow kids to use it without adult assistance. 100% Free
