THANKSGIVING Typing Game: Reveal the Pixel Picture

GAME INFO

What is the goal of the game?

In this Thanksgiving typing game, students must type each word correctly as it appears on screen. Every correct word reveals pixels of a hidden picture. Keep typing until the entire image is uncovered! Once it is complete, a green arrow appears so players can move on to a new picture and keep practicing their keyboarding skills.

Recommended age and educational level

Recommended for students ages 8 and up, from 3rd to 6th grade. It works well as a keyboarding practice activity for elementary and middle school students, and it is also great for ESL learners building Thanksgiving vocabulary.

How to play: single-player or multiplayer

This is a single-player game. Read the word on the screen and type it letter by letter. Each correct word uncovers part of the image. Words include maplesyrup, cooking, sharing, generous, cornbread and many more seasonal terms.

Note: a physical keyboard is required. This game cannot be played on phones or tablets without a keyboard.
