Keyboarding Activity: Alphabetical List Relay
Purpose:
This activity will help students improve their composing skills and can be incorporated with using the bulleted list feature in word processing software programs. This also involves thinking skills.
Procedure:
Challenge students to compose an alphabetical list of one of the following:
- Items found in a supermarket
- Brand names of items
- Boy's names
- Girl's names
- Cities of the world
- Countries of the world
- Snack foods
- Restaurants
Set the clock for three to five minutes. The winner is the person who first completes his/her alphabetical list first. For some categories, a complete alphabetical list may not be possible, so the winner may be determined by whoever finishes first with as complete a list as possible.
