Two free games that make practice feel like play, in the browser, with no sign-up.
Practice is easier to keep up when it is fun. CamelKeys has two original typing games. In Sandstorm, words blow in from the top of the desert towards your oasis and you clear each one by typing it. In the camel race, your camel runs as you type and three pacer camels run at steady speeds around your own. Both work in every language the typing test has, with the same word lists.
Games keep practice going for longer and bring people back the next day, which matters more for typing than any single session. Sandstorm trains reading ahead and reacting quickly to short words. The camel race is a real typing test underneath, so it trains steady speed over a whole passage and shows the full results afterwards: speed, accuracy and the keys that slowed you down.
Races and storms unlock camels to race with: finish your first race, win one, score 25 in Sandstorm, and so on. They are kept in your browser, and you choose which one runs from the Games screen.
The games use everyday words and start slowly, so younger typists can play from the first day. They are a good reward after a lesson: learn a few new keys in the touch typing lessons, then play a round. Teachers can find free classes, lesson tasks and printable certificates on the for teachers page.
Yes. Both games are free, need no account and run in the browser.
Sandstorm works with any keyboard, including a phone's. The camel race is best with a real keyboard, like the typing test.
