Start an online metronome, then type something in a word processor. At school you could start the metronome, then do Letterchase. Here are approximate relationships between "beats per minute" (bpm) and "words per minute" (wpm):
| bpm | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 | 110 | 120 | 130 | If you walk 133 steps a minute it is 4 mph. (150spm=4.5 mph; 167spm=5mph) |
| wpm | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 |
