The learning connection
Using embodied cognition, this activity allows children to physically engage with their keyboard, turning learning into a game. By connecting letters to treasure items, they develop spatial awareness of the keyboard layout, which is fundamental for typing fluency.
Try it with your learner

Find and identify each letter/symbol on your keyboard that matches the map. 5. Record how many treasures (keys) you found. 6. Share your favorite letter and why it’s special to you!
