Table or Pixel Art Using Microsoft Word

This is a standalone activity I do in ICT to help chidlren learn how to create tables tables in Microsoft Word, select cells and shade cells with different colours. The children could even add text to a cell as part of the art or merge cells.

In this document are four ready made examples of what sort of table/pixel art they could create whilst mastering these skills.

You could provide them as examples or even provide the table outline as a template for the children to work on, although if they’re able to, it’s better to have them create their own table.
