What this worksheet teaches

• Understand that a computer only does what someone tells it to do - it does not decide by itself.
• Practise the safe habits of clean dry hands, no food near the keys, and asking a grown-up before switching anything off.
• Name the four parts a Grade 1 child actually touches - screen, keyboard, mouse and power button - and point to each in a picture.
• Learn that a click means press and let go once, and that holding the button down does something different.

How to use this worksheet

Do this sheet in two short sittings rather than one. Six new technical words is a lot for a six-year-old, and recall improves sharply when the second half happens the next day.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which device is used to type?
2. Which device shows the output?

Frequently asked questions

Should I teach typing at this stage?

Not formal touch typing. Finding a named letter on the keyboard is the Grade 1 skill; correct finger placement is usually introduced around Grade 3 or 4.

Is a tablet fine instead of a desktop computer?

For the screen and touch ideas, yes. For keyboard and mouse questions a laptop helps, because a tablet has no separate mouse to point at.

My child has never touched a computer. Can they still do this?

Yes. Everything is answered on paper from pictures, and the sheet assumes no prior experience. Showing them a phone or tablet screen while you work is enough real-world reference.
