Materials required

Worksheet no. 5

Prerequisite

To complete this activity, students must be familiar with the position of at least 10 keys on the keyboard.

Preparation

At the bottom of Worksheet no. 5, write the characters that the students have already practiced in Typing Pal.

Then, write the characters that they have not yet practiced in Typing Pal onto the keyboard image on Worksheet no. 5.

Photocopy this modified worksheet for each of your students.

Example

List of characters to write: I - R - U - V - M - G - E

Activity plan

Give a copy of the modified version of Worksheet no. 5 to each of your students.
Ask them to write the characters listed at the bottom of their sheet onto the corresponding keys.
Once they have finished, review the correct answers as a class.

Variation

This activity can easily be adapted to make it more challenging. Indeed, you could even give each of your students a long list of characters to place on an almost-empty keyboard image. You could focus on left-hand characters, right-hand characters, the top row... for this exercise, the possibilities are endless!
