Keyboarding Alphabet Dancing is a great "unplugged" review of keyboarding skills to help break the monotany of continuoulsy learning and practicing keystrokes. Disclaimer: There is no actual dancing required!

As explained in the video a set of the Alphabet Dancing Cards (each has a various letter key blackened on an all-blank keyboard) are needed for each group of students (3-4/group). From there, I usually like to give the students some time (7-10 minutes) to organize and create a strategy. The gist of the activity is that the instructor will give a clue, and then students need to use the cards to "write" the word that fulfills the clue.
