Ghost Typist

TypingTop Row KeysGrades 3–6Keyboard

What students practice

Students practice typing with only the top row of keys, Q W E R T Y U I O P, racing to finish spelling a word before a ghost typist does.

How to play

Players type each letter of the word in order, using the glowing key and finger-name guide, and win by finishing before the ghost; losing a race has the ghost spell the word instead, and that word returns later. A wrong key shows the correct one, and beating five words in a row with no mistakes earns a combo bonus; losing three races ends the run.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose the word sets, from a starter list to all sets, and a key guide that glows the next key and names its finger, plus speed and whether the answer is shown after a miss; the end screen offers a printable student report listing the skills to practice.
