One of the technology lessons that is taught to young children is one that explores computer hardware or technology words. You can show children actual pieces of hardware or pictures of it. After that children are usually given a fun way to explore and remember the names of the pieces of hardware. This activity gives children the opportunity to connect the letters on coding game boards. When they have connected the letters in the correct order, they will form a technology word. They will also get to work on building a coding algorithm.
What technology words are explore?
- monitor
- laptop
- computer
- keyboard
- mouse
- headphones
Getting the Algorithm Game Boards
The Technology Words on Algorithm Game Boards were saved in a PDF format. You will need to have a PDF reader on your computer to open them. Each of the game boards has an answer key. Your children may find a different way than the one suggested to build the word featured on their board.
Building Background
Children will need to read a book, view pieces of actual hardware, or look at pictures before starting this activity. Below you will find a few children books that feature computer hard and technology.

Exploring the Game Boards
Before your children work on building a word on their own, you will want to work through one together. It will help your children understand what they need to do. Once they understand how to connect the letters with arrows, they will probably be able to do them one on their own. If feel they still need help, you could assign them a partner to work with. Another option is to give them the game board and the answer key. Your children can then try to replicate the answer key on their own paper.
