Keyboard Hero — Typing Game

Learn to type: home row, all the letters, then real words. QWERTY, AZERTY or Arabic keyboard.

Why this game helps

Typing is now a basic school skill. Starting with the home row teaches children to keep their fingers in place instead of hunting for keys — accuracy first, speed comes later.

⌨️ About this game

Typing has become a basic school skill, yet most children learn it by hunting for keys with one finger. Keyboard Hero starts where typing teachers start: the home row, where the fingers rest. Then come all the letters, then real words with a picture. An on-screen keyboard lights up the next key, so children learn to look at the screen rather than their hands. The keyboard follows the page language — QWERTY in English and Spanish, AZERTY in French, the Arabic layout in Arabic — and the score rewards accuracy before speed.

Best for ages 6–12

Tips for parents and teachers

Frequently asked questions

Which keyboard layout is used?

It follows the page language: QWERTY for English and Spanish, AZERTY for French, the standard Arabic layout for Arabic. Your computer must use the same layout.

Does it work on a tablet?

Yes, tap the dashed box to open the on-screen keyboard — but a real keyboard is much better for learning to type.

Do accents matter?

No: é counts as e, and أ counts as ا, so children can focus on finding the keys.
