In Typing Rain, words fall from a bright blue sky like raindrops. Type each word correctly and it pops before it reaches the grass. Let three words land and the rain wins! It is a playful way for kids to practice keyboarding, spelling and quick reading at the same time.
About Typing Rain
Pick short three-letter words for beginners, medium five-letter words, long words such as "dinosaur" and "library", or a mix of all three. As you type, the letters you have matched turn green, so children can see their progress letter by letter.
Every eight words you complete, the level goes up and the rain falls a little faster. Typing Rain is an ideal free game online for students learning to type on school Chromebooks, and it doubles as gentle spelling practice.
How to play Typing Rain
- Choose a word list: short, medium, long or mix.
- Click in the box under the sky and start typing.
- Type a falling word exactly — it pops as soon as it is complete.
- Don’t let words touch the grass: you only have three lives.
- Every eight words, the level increases and words fall faster.
