Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Sort man-made versus natural things, thrifty versus wasteful habits, computer input versus output devices, and recyclable versus biodegradable waste.

What's in the worksheet

4 rounds, a sorting game with 4 items each - Telephone and bicycle are made by people; a rock and a tree occur in nature - Turning the light off and using both sides of paper are thrifty; leaving the water running is wasteful - Keyboard and mouse are input; screen and speakers are output - Glass bottles and aluminium cans are recyclable; vegetable scraps and fruit peel break down by themselves

How to use it in class

Use after teaching technology and resources. 6-8 minutes. - Play as teams; after each answer, each team adds one more example per group - In round 3, if there is a computer in the room, point to each real device - If many miss round 3, ask "Do we send instructions into this device, or does it send pictures and sound out to us?" - After round 4, have children check how the school bins are sorted - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.

Common sticking points

- In round 3, putting speakers under input by confusing them with a microphone; point out that speakers send sound out - In round 3, putting the screen under input because of phone touchscreens; agree touchscreens do both, but the computer screen here shows output - In round 1, putting the tree under man-made because someone planted the school's trees
