This game is helpful for practicing typing structured text, whilst improving the typing speed and accuracy

Typing Chef

This game has you type words that belong to cooking. This would be a game for older players as some of the words are quite difficult for younger children. Maybe for Yrs 7-12 doing Home Economics.

This is one of my all time favourites. There are different levels each progressing in difficulty. There is a Scoreboard and even worksheets that students can print out to help reinforce the online activities.
