Yes, it does teach proper finger position. It has a series of lessons that start with the home row and then add on to that.... complete with dancing animals with snazzy british accents. DD did it completely independently (a first for her!) so I can't comment if there were games or not. But it had to have been fun or she would never have completed it!
