Bell Horses is a traditional English nursery rhyme often attributed to Mother Goose. This rhyme can be found in The Nursery Rhymes of England (1843) by James Orchard Halliwell. This song/rhyme was also included in Percy Green's History of Nursery Rhymes (published in London in 1899).
This song/game has become a favorite with all of the children I have worked with. The song is sung while the children pretend to be horses, prancing with knees high. When the kids sing the last line, I have them run to a predetermined location in the room. We then chant a random rhyme ( often use the first verse of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) and then we come back to the middle of the floor/room and start again. The game can be extended by adding times or you can change the rhyme.
Because the song/rhyme is called Bell Horses, it's fun to have the kids play bells while they dance.

Any typing knowledge always comes down to the same question: what is your average typing speed and accuracy? Why is it so important. Companies hire experienced touch typists rather than hunting and peck typists just for efficiency. Do yourself a favor and learn the basics, if you do not already know them. So practice regularly to speedup your typing with wpmtest
The post you wrote is excellent. It was really too much information for me. Keep sharing this kind of information with us.
