Let’s get Nursery and Reception typing!
Whilst the youngest children are super tech savvy these days, we sometimes forget to teach the basics. This activity introduces EYFS children to typing words on a computer. For this activity we recommend running carpet sessions with small groups of children. Ideally, have this PowerPoint displayed on your interactive white board and use a wireless keyboard that can be passed around the group to type onto. (For your keyboard, we highly recommend buying some lower case letter stickers to stick on the keys!)
Work through each slide following the instructions at the beginning of each section. The sections are as follows:
Copying letters
Initial sounds - type the letter of the initial sound for the pictured animal
CVC - type out the cvc words
Copy the whole word
Type your name
Type the alphabet
A beautiful variety of alien posters.
Contains 14 unique aliens with a variety of features to explore and describe. Each has a different number of colourful arms, legs, eyes, teeth, antennae and regular shaped mouths to identify.
The resources contains 2 sets of posters. The first set gives each alien one made up name. The second set gives each alien two names to sound out. We threw in a little alliteration on the second set just for fun!
Also, why not make some of your own aliens using an interactive, drag-and-drop activity?
It’s a perfect activity for the interactive whiteboard or for the children to work independently on the computer:
