There are many resources to learn to type on the internet. The problem with most of
them is:
a) You must fill out a lengthy registration form.
b) You must install some unknown piece of software on to your computer.
c) They take a long time to download.
At FreeTypingGame.net, we decided to eliminate these problems by providing online
typing games that don't require registration. We want our customers to be able to
start playing instantly. When you finish a game, you have the option to post your
score on our worldwide realtime scoreboard. Enter your school and location and compare
yourself to others in your own school, state or country.
Currently, our seven games are:
Martian City Defender- Save the Martian Colony from unidentified flying laser beams! Laser beams come from
every direction, and can break off into more laser beams. The bonus levels offer even more of a challenge by dropping speedy one letter
droplets from space and ufos. Hint: Explosions to laser beams can affect other beams around them. Blast multiple lasers with one word. Have fun!
Meteor Typing Blast- Meteors and UFOs are coming at your ship from every
direction. The meteors fly in random directions, and when they get hit, they break into 2 more meteors. Hint:
Use your shield (space key) to protect yourself from the metors and ufos. Be careful of blowing up a large meteor
too close to your ship, it may break into smaller ones that fly right at you.
Keyboard Triathlon- 3 Timed events test your knowledge of the keyboard. Are you up to the challenge?
Keyboard ID, Character ID, and the Speed Test all challenge your skills. Hint: The beginner level is vastly different from the advanced level.
The advanced is much harder, but you will be rewarded more points for correct answers in the advanced level. Good luck!
Save the Sailboats - Using a falling letters theme, sailboats are quickly moving
through the water and your job is to type the letters before they hit the sailboats.
Here's a hint: When you have lost most of the sailboats, and the letters are falling
at too fast a rate, only type the letters of the words that will run into the
remaining sailboats, not all the letters.
Outerspace Fleet Commander - Guiding aliens through the galaxy has never been more of
a challenge! Flying words from space are stopping your mission. Type the words before
they run into one of your ships. Words with multipliers above them earn more points.
Hint: The center ship is closest to the words, so if you have to let one get hit, let
the center ship get hit.
The Frogs are Off Their Diet - We never knew frogs were so hungry. But they have
promised to stick to their diet, and they need your help. Type the words before they
reach the frogs. Hint: Just because a word looks like it is going to run into the
frog does not mean that the frog will eat it. The word must be in range of the frog's
tongue.
Spacebar Invaders - These wiggly creatures are on the move.
Type the words underneath the invaders before they reach the bottom of the game.
Hint: These little critters work in unison. Typing away an entire column will keep them from reaching
the sides of the screen and they won't progress downward.
Our Free Typing Lesson system is the best place for beginning typists to start. We use a color coded keyboard with associated hands and fingers to teach 2 keys at a time. Once mastery of the 2 keys is complete, we review all the keys learned so far. You can view the proper hand placement guide which will help with hand, body and computer positioning.
We also offer a timed typing tests. These tests will give an accuarate word per minute assessment
of your typing ability. The first test allows you to show off your skills to the world, allowing you to place
your speed on our worldwide realtime scoreboard. The second test lets you print a certificate, showing your typing speed. The tests have a timer options of 1 to 5 minutes. Lessons 26 through 30
offer real word typing text. These classic old stories are easy to type and fun to read.
