Number 1 sounds like Jumpstart 4th Grade: Sapphire Falls.

The penguin-y one must be 'Tux, of Math Command'.

1. There's this boy and girl investigating some hauntings or something in an abandoned mine. I don't remember what the minigames were, unfortunately. I think in the ending, the ghost/monster turned out to be the town's mayor (or his son?) dressed up in a costume. Or, something like that. Basically the twist was like in Scooby Doo, where there's someone under the mask. I played it in the mid-2000's, but the game's probably older.
2. This one I played during computer class during 5th-6th grade, around 2009, 2010 or so. You play as a penguin trying to defeat falling...words. You type the word as fast as you can before it hits the ground.
