Skills Covered:
- Letter key location on a QWERTY keyboard
- Spelling of basic tech vocabulary
- Mouse control and drag-and-drop coordination
- Typing reinforcement and visual-motor practice
Perfect For:

- Early finishers or enrichment time
Why It Works:
By combining mouse movement, keyboard awareness, and vocabulary recall, students get a multi-skill workout that builds both confidence and competence at the keyboard. It’s playful, purposeful, and just the right level of challenge for early learners.
