Getting to Know the Keyboard

Keyboard Challenge - Students are given a blank keyboard and a jumble of letters.  They must drag the lowercase letters on to the blank keyboard to make them match the Uppercase letters on the keyboard they are using. I usually have them do this twice.

Find the Letter - Student must locate and key the letter flashed up on the screen.  Object: see how many letters you can find in 30 sec.  Make sure students hit the Reload Button at the end of every game.
