One station. A few keys. A first win.
Find F and J
Open the game, choose an age band and pick a racer. A new player starts with the basics. Use a physical keyboard for typing practice; on-screen keys help children explore the layout.
Let them take the wheel
Start with a small group. Show them the bumps on F and J, then let each child try a race. Keep the pace comfortable and help with hand position when needed.
Come back to familiar keys
Use another short practice session on a later day. The progress road, certificates and printable chart help you see what each learner has practiced.
Open the printable classroom starter kit for posters, a practice plan and a family handout. Adapt the session length to your learners. For device setup, use the tech-office checklist.
A full path from first keys to stories.
100 short lessons
Start with home row, then build toward letters, capitals, punctuation, numbers and stories. The full learning path is free. In the browser, Puppy Park and Dino Dash are both included.
Help that steps back
Finger colors and shapes, illustrated hands and spoken prompts guide early practice. Accuracy comes before speed. Sound and motion controls are in Grown-ups.
A racer of their own
Local racer profiles keep children's progress separate on a shared device. Progress stays on that device, so use the same device and browser profile when you return.
Let everyone pick their favorite world.
Classrooms are free forever. A classroom code opens all twenty worlds in the browser game on your school devices. Each code lasts one school year, and next year's code is free too. Homeschool co-ops and libraries are welcome. Puppy Park, Dino Dash and all 100 lessons are already free in the browser, so you can start while you wait.

Already have a code? Share your class link, like bumpykeys.com/code/MANGO-ROBOT. Kids tap it and play. Nothing to type. No link handy? In Bumpy Keys, tap the gear, press and hold, then Worlds, then Teacher code. Connect to the internet once to claim it. The browser saves the unlock for offline use. Classroom codes work in the browser game; iPad and Mac app unlocks use Apple purchases or Apple offer codes.
A few useful answers.
Do children need accounts?
No student account or password is required. Racer profiles and learning progress are saved locally. There is no hosted teacher dashboard or automatic progress sync between devices.
Which devices work?
Try the browser game on your classroom's Chromebook, Windows laptop or Mac. The iPad and Mac apps are on the App Store. A physical keyboard is needed to practice real keyboard technique.
Can we use it offline?
The installed app supports offline solo practice. The browser game needs an initial visit to load and save its files; check it offline on your actual devices before a session. Classroom code claims, purchases and online rooms need a connection.
Can children share a device?
Yes. Use the racer switcher to choose the right local profile before playing. A shared browser profile keeps those racers on that device. Clearing site data or removing the app can remove saved progress.
What information is processed?
There are no ads or child analytics in the game. Learning progress is stored locally. Online rooms relay nicknames and race progress; code claims send a device seat token and retain a license record. Purchases, hosting and adult support requests also involve data processing. See the privacy policy and ask us about your district's review.
What about district approval?
Send us your device setup and your district's requirements. We can help review network access, installation and classroom codes. The Chromebook setup page explains installation and codes. The tech-office guide covers deployment and network access. Your district decides whether the product meets its procurement, privacy and accessibility requirements.
How do we follow progress?
Look at the learner's progress road and certificates, or use a printable chart. Pair game practice with a little real writing when children are ready. Success on screen does not prove which finger a child used.
What happens at home?
Families can play all 100 lessons free with Puppy Park and Dino Dash in the browser. The iPad and Mac apps offer a separate one-time unlock for all worlds through Apple. Classroom access is for school devices; home purchases are optional and kept behind a grown-up gate.
