About this resource
I made this computer parts puzzle set for my Year 2 and 3 students during our technology unit. The kids could use a computer but had no idea what words like monitor, keyboard, or CPU meant when we talked about the parts of a computer. So I put together a word search, a word scramble, and a crossword using words like motherboard, processor, RAM, storage, power supply, heat sink, port, cable, and CMOS. Nothing fancy — just puzzles to help the computer parts vocabulary finally stick.
The set is six pages. Three puzzles, each with its own answer key page. The word search works well for quiet time after break or wet play. The scramble gets them talking because they argue about whether a printer is inside or outside the computer. The crossword I use for partners or as a review. I added a couple simple monitor, keyboard, and mouse drawings but nothing too busy.
Works for Years 2–4. Print and go. Sometimes I have early finishers draw a computer and label three parts on the back. The kids actually ask for these now.
