Games are a great way to get better at what you are learning. When playing a keyboarding game, it's important to always keep your fingers on the home row keys and use the correct finger for each key typed. If you don't, you are reinforcing your wrong typing technique, not your correct one!
If you have the option to choose HOME ROW keys only, I highly recommend doing that until you have mastered the entire alphabet on the keyboard!
