Fun Activity: Guess the Computer Parts

A short game: the teacher shows a picture (or you can use the images above), then kids point to the correct computer part name. Give a small reward to the fastest one!

  • Prepare 5 pictures (monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, webcam).
  • Ask: "Which one is used for typing?" → Answer: Keyboard.
  • Create a mini quiz with 3 questions and see who answers the fastest.

Additional visual materials will be explained directly during the class session.
