A top card game to teach the history of computing. This fun, familiar and easy to play card game reinforces the rich history of computing since the early electronic computers to the modern day. Students play to see who can trump their partner by finding the top value in different categories.
Buy these 36 colourful and enlightening playing cards today. Your class will enjoy playing this highly interactive card game, so much they won’t even realise they are learning at the same time!
Makes an excellent end of topic plenary or use them as a starter classroom activity which can lead into interesting whole group discussions about the history of computing.
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Print out the cards in colour and laminate them before cutting them out. You will need enough copies for one set between 2 people, so for a class of 30 students you will need 15 complete sets of cards.
It is a good idea to keep each set of cards in a separate plastic bag so the sets don’t get muddled together.
There are 36 ready-to-use cards in each set.
PLAY INSTRUCTIONS
Split the class into pairs but if there is an odd number, one group can play as a three.
Shuffle and deal out all the cards in a set, face down equally between each person in the pair/three.
Players look at their top card only.
Player 1 chooses and calls out their best category and value (e.g. “Weight – 544 Kilograms”).
The other player(s) look at their own top card to check if they can beat the value for the same category (highest value wins).
The player with the highest score for that category wins all of the cards that are being played and adds them to the base of their pile.
The winner of the round chooses the category for the next round.
The first player to collect all of the cards wins!

Here is a set of posters you can display in your classroom to remind students of the computer room behaviour expectations and rules.
An instant bright and cheerful classroom display that is both attractive and useful.
It also doesn’t hurt for other teachers to be reminded of the rules when they are using the computer lab!
Buy them now and instantly brighten your computer room.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
This pack of posters includes 25 attractive posters provided in both
full colour and
black and white to help you save on printing costs.
.
One eye-catching poster is provided per page.
Simply pick the rules you want to display, print them out and they are ready to go on your walls immediately.
HOW CAN YOU USE THESE POSTERS?
For instant impact, display the posters in a group somewhere noticeable. Use them as a prompt to talk to your class about rules at the start of the school year, or for whenever they need a quick reminder of the computer room expectations.
Alternatively, you can position the posters individually around the room in the most appropriate locations i.e. you can put the poster “Do Not Print Without Permission” near the printer, or the reminder to log off near the clock (which they may glance at as the lesson nears its end). Of course, it is your classroom with its own unique layout so feel free to position them as you feel would have the most impact.
To help keep the behaviour rules fresh in the pupils’ minds, it is worth considering moving the posters occasionally as this will help pupils (and other teachers) notice them again.
PREPARING THE POSTERS
You can easily print out the individual posters you want as we have created one poster per page. You can use as many pages or as few as you like. I recommend picking 4 or 5 of the most important from all those available. More than that tends to get too confusing for the pupils.
You have a choice of colour pages or you have exactly the same posters in black and white. If you are printing in black and white, please consider printing on coloured paper to add a little more interest. Laminating the posters will give a more professional finish and help prolong the life of your posters.
There are some very similar posters to cater for American and UK phrasing and spelling. Use the most appropriate for your classroom.
What are you waiting for? Download this ready to use pack of posters now and get printing. They are sure to brighten your classroom along with helping students know your expectations.

HOW CAN YOU USE THIS DISPLAY?
This people in computing poster display works well when positioned:
around your room following a timeline

PREPARING THE DISPLAY
It is best to print the pages in colour, if you can, but I have included a black and white version too. If you are printing in black and white you may wish to print them onto coloured paper to add a bit of interest in your classroom.
I suggest printing the posters on card or laminating each page to give a more professional finish.
A nice display option, if you have room, is to display the posters of all the people in computing in date order joined to a ribbon to show a timeline for students to follow around your classroom. Use a wide brightly coloured ribbon for added interest. Alternatively, they fit nicely in a grid (7 x 5).
I’ve include a couple of suggested layouts to give you an idea of how you can display these people in computing posters.
