Go on a typing adventure to the distant land of Typelandia, where you can go on a journey to rescue Mickey and his friends by learning how to type. This newly released game by Disney Interactive is designed to help children aged 6-12 not only learn how to type but also how to sit, hold your hands, and terms such as speed, accuracy, and WPM. This program follows an educational design to achieve the Common Core Standards in keyboarding, while keeping the lessons light and fun, which is extremely important for keeping a child’s attention. The lessons start with only a few letters at a time and can be reviewed or redone after you review your speed, accuracy and percentages.
You start your adventure in the magic shop, where the owner tells a story of a mysterious enchantment that has taken over the land of Typelandia and it’s up to you to break the spell. Throughout the game, you have the option to go back to the magic shop for further instruction, or to explore the village and play different games to sharpen your typing skills. After each exercise, there is a fun typing game like keeping gophers out of the garden by typing the correct letter that pops up on the screen, or trying to wake up Uncle Scrooge by typing out the words on different items that make loud noises. When you’ve completed the entire game, you can win prizes such as coloring pages of Mickey and friends, as well as the ability to print out your very own certificate of completion, making it very official!
Let’s face it, learning how to type proficiently isn’t a thing of the past- if anything, the age to know how to use a keyboard and type is only getting younger! This is a fantastic investment for your child to learn all these important things, and with the option to start and stop when you wish is a great factor so your child doesn’t feel pressed to finish the entire game in one sitting. I loved how much they involved Mickey and his friends in the story, and another awesome touch was the library. You can take a break from the game to do other activities, such as typing out stories in the library from Disney favorites such as Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Tangled, and many more!
