The only games from my childhood I can ever recall being like that when thinking back would be the edutainment style games I had, obviously.

Mario Teaches Typing comes to mind, lol

I don't think I ever had any type of games that taught teaching. I had games like hooked on phonics type stuff and a Land Before Time math game, among a few others.

Typing was never something formally taught to me, even from a video game. I guess by the 2000s they just didn't think it was important enough to be taught in elementary school to kids. Yet cursive was deemed something we needed to know.

We had typing in the 90's, but that was on electric typewriters, and was in I guess what you would call middle school not elementary.

Later there was 'Mavis beacon teaches typing' as the earliest typing ones that was really popular
