What this worksheet teaches
- Sort pictures into things that are part of a computer and things that are not (book, pencil, mouse, monitor).
- 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.
How to use this worksheet
At Grade 1 the words are harder than the ideas. Read each label out loud for your child before they write it - 'monitor' and 'mouse' both start with M and get swapped constantly. If a real computer or tablet is in the room, point at the part as you say its name, then come back to the paper.
Sample questions from this worksheet
- Which part helps select icons?
- Which part is like a TV?
Frequently asked questions
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.
Why does my child keep mixing up mouse and monitor?
Both start with the same sound, which is the single most common Grade 1 error here. Saying 'monitor - the one you look at' every time you read the word clears it up faster than correcting the written answer.
