Summary: Great product
Comment: My 8 year old son loves SpongeBob, so I thought this might be good for him. He and I have both played with this program and we both love it. It is fun, yet educational. I highly recommend it, especially to the SpongeBob fans. This is his first typing program so I am glad he is loving it and learning at the same time. I have also done some of the lessons and am improving my typing skills as well.

Summary: On their own
Comment: I bought this for my 11 year old and he was not really into it, but my eight year old got a hold of it and played it none stop. He needed no instruction. He liked doing the practices and the games and he learned quite a bit. I think my 11 year (he showed a little interest watching his brother) will do it but it might require outside incentive, such as a prize for passing a level. I played the game also had foung it engaging. I think it is a very good way to introduce the key board and typing in general. susan in colorado

Summary: Great games, obsolete software
Comment: I bought this for my daughter after experimenting with it in an Apple store; I had so much fun I could barely tear myself away, and I could see my typing skill skyrocketing as I played the games. We are Macintosh (OSX) users, and I have to say that as a piece of software this product is in serious need of an overhaul. It is difficult to load, difficult to launch, freezes often, and is thoroughly frustrating. My daughter loves it, so I bear with the frequent re-boots required to get it running and keep it running, but I am definitely looking for something to take its place. (I bought Mavis Beacon for myself, which is just dandy, but my tender hearted daughter is horrified by the games, which involve tasks such as sending cute smiling cartoon ants to their death.) We love Spongebob and the games are clever and entertaining and offer a lot of variety. I hope someone in the Spongebob franchise reads this and decides to invest in an update.

Summary: Helped me learn how to type
Comment: My parents bought me an older version of this game for Christmas one year (2005 or 2006?) and when I got it, I had no interest in playing it. However, a couple of years later, I decided to try and learn how to type.
It taught me all of the correct fingerings in a really entertaining way, and the games were great. My first day of keyboarding class in 8th grade, my teacher asked where I learned to type, and I said: "The Spongebob Squarepants Typing Game, of course." She was speechless.
I really recommend this game to all parents, as it's a lot better than school typing programs. Don't subject the poor things to learning how to type from an outdated book.
Give them a jump start! It's at a great price, and you won't regret buying it. :)

Summary: annoying audio
Comment: Bought this for my 9 year-old SpongeBob fanatic. Even he said he was sick of hearing SpongeBob after only a few sessions.
