Typing Game - Mind Reader

I am the Little Professor and will be your guide in this typing card game. I am VERY good. In fact, I am so good I can read your mind.

There are six cards shown below. Select a card by thinking of it.

Just select one card.

Do not touch the screen. Stare at the card and say the card quietly to yourself.

I will then read your mind.

Click on the Little Professor when you want to start the game.

Typing Gaem - Typing Tips:

Practice! Practice makes perfect. See how quick you can learn to type.

Set up a schedule. Unless you establish a schedule for learning it is all to easy to find an excuse for not practicing. The Little Professor never promised you a rose garden. It takes practice to develop touch-keyboarding skills.

Smile! Remember to smile. As the expression goes, Smile, and the whole world will smile with you. Smiling releases tensions. You, as well as the people around you, will feel better.

Take care with when keying the home row keys. The home row exercises are simple and you might be tempted to skip them. However these are very important exercises because you are beginning to train your fingers in the correct keystroke reaches.

More practice? If you feel you need more practice on the home-row keys, or for that matter, any exercise, type the exercise again. The computer is a patient but demanding teacher. Practice each exercise several times until you are satisfied with your skills. Only go to the next exercise in a series when you feel comfortable with the exercise you have just completed.

Faster, faster. After you complete the home row keys, force yourself to type at a pace that is faster than comfortable.

Whisper. Whisper each letter as you use a quick stroke to strike and bounce off keys. Do not press or mush down on the key. Quickly strike the key; bounce off the key, and return your finger to their assigned home row location.

Tired? When tired, take a break. Fatigue can result in your concentration wandering, and when this happens, you are not doing a good job of training your fingers. Come back to this web site, and practice the exercises shown to relieve stress and tension.

Avoid eyestrain. Eyestrain can occur when there is a reflection on the monitor. Adjust the angle of the monitor and the height of your chair to reduce reflections. The room should be slightly dark with no major rays of sunlight. Squinting is very fatiguing. Monitor shields, or even monitor screens might be of some help, but most relief occurs when you can eliminate background glare.

Try these exercises. Spend a couple of minutes and try some of the physical exercises shown in the www.nimblefinger.com web site. They will help reduce tension and stress.

Typing Games are fun but do not build typing speed and accuracy.
