Ten-minute Literacy Activities for ICT

50 short ICT literacy worksheets, games and puzzles with spelling guidance and selected answers in a 70-page PDF for KS3.

Activities help students learn and remember keywords for storage, input and output, applications, hardware, software, Internet terms and other ICT concepts. Formats include look-say-cover-write-check, wordsearches, crosswords, jumbled words, symbols, sentences, noughts and crosses and board games.

Use pages flexibly as approximately ten-minute starters, homework, reinforcement or practice. Activities may be completed individually, in pairs or in groups as indicated; dictionaries and, for some games, counters and dice are needed. General guidance and selected answer pages are included; there are no individual lesson plans.

Designed particularly for Year 7 and students in Years 7–8 who need literacy support.
