The learning connection
Exploring the keyboard through a treasure hunt applies the dual coding theory. Children visualize items linked to each key, reinforcing both memory and recognition skills while they actively search and engage.
Try it with your learner
1. Prepare a list of objects to find, like 'A for Apple' or 'B for Ball'. 2. Set a timer for 10 minutes. 3. Call out each letter from your list one by one. 4. For each letter, find an object that starts with that letter and type it on the computer. 5. Write down the letter and the object you found. 6. At the end, review your list — how many treasures did you uncover?
