What this worksheet teaches

• 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.
• Find letter keys, the space bar and the Enter key on a keyboard picture.
• Sort pictures into things that are part of a computer and things that are not (book, pencil, mouse, monitor).

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

1. Which device is used to project images?
2. Which device shows output on screen?

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.
