A beginner-friendly computer skills activity that helps pupils practice formatting text, editing shapes, and carrying out simple online research.

Pupils identify common shapes, change shape colors, and use text-formatting tools such as bold, italics, and underline. They then practice searching online for simple information and organizing suitable free-to-use images in a structured PowerPoint activity.

This resource includes:

Shape-identification tasks

Activities for changing shape colors

Text-formatting practice using bold, italics, and underline

Beginner-friendly online-research questions

Image-insertion activities using a neutral drinks and healthy-choices theme

A pupil self-evaluation opportunity

A built-in teacher assessment section to record whether pupils completed the task independently or with support, what they achieved, and an appropriate next step

Editable PowerPoint format

Ideal for beginner computing lessons, primary pupils, lower-secondary SEN learners, small-group support, or independent digital-skills practice. It works well as a follow-up activity after pupils have practiced typing, mouse control, text color, and font size.
