What this worksheet teaches

• 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.
• Learn early screen-time and care rules, such as clean hands and no food near the keyboard.

How to use this worksheet

Do the shutting-down question last and then actually do it. Turning the computer off properly right after answering ties the answer to the action, and it is the habit most worth building at this age since it is the one children skip.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which part is also called the 'box'?
2. Which device shows text?

Frequently asked questions

Is a real computer needed for this worksheet?

No, pencil and paper are enough. A real device nearby makes the parts and mouse questions considerably easier for a Grade 2 child to picture.

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.
