What this worksheet teaches

• Say what a computer is used for at home and at school, with examples.
• Match the mouse actions click, double-click and drag to what each one does.
• Find letters, numbers, the space bar and the enter key on a keyboard.
• Explain the difference between turning a computer on and shutting it down properly.

How to use this worksheet

Practise the mouse actions physically before writing. Ask your child to click once, then twice quickly, then drag something across the screen, and name each action out loud. Double-click is the one Grade 2 students find hardest because it depends on timing rather than knowledge.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which device shows movies & pictures?
2. Which part of a computer looks like a box?

Frequently asked questions

My child only uses a touchscreen. Will the mouse questions be too hard?

They will be slower rather than too hard. A few minutes holding a mouse and watching the cursor move fills the gap before the questions come up.

Does it teach typing?

Only key finding - letters, numbers, space and enter. Proper typing technique comes in later grades.

Is internet safety part of this?

Only in the gentlest form, such as asking an adult before using a device. Digital safety has its own worksheets for this age group.
