About this game

Kids on Keys is a 1983 educational video game from Spinnaker Software designed by Freeda Lekkerkerker. The game contains three minigames to teach young players basic language and typing skills. In the first, players have to type the correct falling letter before it hits the ground. The second sees the player type the full name of household items before the words reach the bottom of the screen. The third sees names of objects appear at the bottom of the screen, while a series of pictorial icons appear in the center, with the players tasked to press the number on their keyboard that corresponds to that object's icon.
