Finger Fleet

TypingFinger ZonesGrades 3–6Keyboard

What students practice

Students practice finger placement, learning which of eight fingers types each key by launching the matching ship whenever a key appears on a cargo pod.

How to play

Players press the home key of the finger that types the shown key, such as pressing F for a G because the left index finger reaches it, with word pods needing a ship launched for every letter in order; clearing pods in a row earns a combo bonus. A wrong ship stops the well and shows the correct finger, and three missed pods end the mission.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which keyboard rows are in play, from home row up to every letter, and hide each finger's key list so students recall it from memory, plus speed and whether the answer is shown after a miss; the end screen offers a printable student report listing the keys and the finger that types each one.
