What this worksheet teaches

• 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.
• Point out and name the monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers on a real or pictured computer.

How to use this worksheet

Keep a real keyboard, laptop or tablet within reach. Grade 2 students answer computer-part questions from memory of an object, not from a word, so letting them press the space bar or move the mouse as each question comes up makes the whole sheet quicker and more accurate.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Which part helps us hear sound?
2. Which part stores information?

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.
