Englishtype Junior - Games

Englishtype Junior has 5 games... Letter Quest, Shooting Stars, Asteroid Storm, Comet Chase and Typinvaders.

A new game is introduced after each of the first five lessons. Playing the games is an essential part of the learning; because there is no keyboard on the screen, this is where you test what you have learned. For maximum success, all the available games should be played at the end of each Lesson.

The highest Game scores and the related Lesson level at which they were achieved are recorded on the chart on the Choices Page. The games have differing emphasis on speed and accuracy: early games concentrate solely on accuracy, later games also include an element of speed.

After Lesson 1 - Letter Quest

Type the letters and words shown successfully, or the monster gets a snack! For success this game relies entirely upon accuracy.

After Lesson 2 - Shooting Stars

Type the word shown to win the shooting stars. Success in Shooting Stars is again entirely dependent upon accuracy.

After Lesson 3 - Asteroid Storm

Type the phrase before the asteroid gets too close to the spaceship! High scores on this game can be enhanced by speed, but accuracy is still the key.

After Lesson 4 - Comet Chase

Type phrases accurately and quickly to get fuel for the rocket, then use the fuel to have some fun collecting diamonds. Extra fuel is given for speed, but speed is not emphasised.

After Lesson 5 - Typinvaders

An invader appears in the sky for every word in the target phrase. If the word is typed correctly the invader is "zapped", but if an error is made the invader remains and will bomb the player. If all the words are typed correctly, the whole sky is cleared by an powerful energy pulse - just like in an arcade game! Success is from fast, accurate touch typing.
