This game needs a real keyboard. On a tablet or phone, connect a Bluetooth or USB keyboard to play.

How to play

Choose which letters should fall: the home row, the top row, the bottom row, all letters, numbers or short words.
Pick a speed. Easy is slow and gives you five hearts, Medium has four hearts and Hard only three.
Press Play (or Enter). Each bubble shows a letter — press that key to pop it. Words need all their letters typed in order; once you start a word, finish it before moving on.
If a bubble reaches the ground, you lose a heart. When all hearts are gone, the game is over.

The colour of each bubble shows which finger should press the key, using the same colours as the typing tutor. With “Finger hint” turned on, the small keyboard under the game lights up the key of the lowest bubble — the one that needs popping first.

Why games help kids learn the keyboard

Learning where 26 letters live takes a lot of repetition, and repetition is much easier when it feels like play. A game gives instant feedback — a satisfying pop for every right key — and a clear goal to beat next time. Because the letters keep coming, children start reaching for keys without searching, which is exactly the habit touch typing needs.

The game is forgiving on purpose: wrong keys never cost a heart, the speed only goes up slowly as you pop more bubbles, and Easy mode leaves plenty of time to find each key.

A suggested path with the typing tutor

Start with lessons 1–5 of the typing tutor, then play the game with the Home row set on Easy.
After the top row lessons (6–12), switch to the Top row set. After the bottom row lessons, try Bottom row.
When all letters are learned, play All letters, then Words. Move to Medium when a whole round on Easy feels calm.
Numbers are good for after lesson 17 — the top row of digits is the hardest to reach without looking.

Tips for parents

Encourage your child to keep their fingers on the home row (feel the bumps on F and J) and to use the finger that matches the bubble colour.
Short rounds are best. Two or three games after a tutor lesson is a great routine.
Sound is off by default. Turn it on for extra fun, or keep it off in a quiet classroom.
Celebrate a new best score — the game remembers the best score for each letter set and speed.

Frequently asked questions

What age is the typing game for?

It is made mainly for children who are starting to learn the keyboard, roughly from the age when they can recognise letters. Easy mode is slow enough for young kids, and Hard mode with words is a real challenge for older children and adults. Every child is different, so try Easy first and move up when it feels too simple.

How do I pause the game?

Press Esc or P, or click the pause button next to the hearts. The game also pauses by itself when you switch to another tab or window, so nothing is lost if you get interrupted.

Do wrong keys cost a heart?

No. A key that matches none of the falling letters only shows a small “missed” message and resets your combo. You only lose a heart when a bubble reaches the ground, so kids are not punished for exploring the keyboard.

How does the scoring work?

Each popped letter is worth 10 points, and words are worth 10 points per letter. Every five pops in a row raises the combo multiplier, up to ×5. After every 10 pops you reach a new level and the bubbles fall a little faster.

Does it work on keyboards in other languages?

Yes. A bubble pops when you press the key with that letter, or the key in the same place on a US keyboard. The finger colours follow the standard US QWERTY layout.

Is my score saved?

Your best score for each letter set and speed is kept in your own browser on this device. There is no account and nothing is sent anywhere.
