Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will understand the basics of how names and addresses work on the internet, using fun activities to explore these concepts.

Materials and Prep

• None! This lesson can be done with just your imagination and words.

Activities

• Imaginary Internet Adventure:

  Take a journey through the "internet" using your imagination! Pretend you are a computer trying to find a friend. Ask the student to help you find the right name and address to connect with them!

• Name Game:

  Play a game where you say a name (like "Bobby") and the student has to come up with a silly address (like "Bobby's House on Candy Lane"). This helps them understand how names and addresses work together!

• Story Time:

  Create a short story about a little computer that needs to find its friend. Use fun names and silly places to make it engaging. Ask the student to help come up with ideas!

Talking Points

• "Just like we have names and addresses, computers do too! This helps them find each other."
• "If I say 'Bobby,' where do you think Bobby lives? Let's think of a fun place!"
• "When we send a message, it’s like sending a letter to a friend. We need their name and address!"
• "Isn’t it cool that computers can talk to each other just like we do? They just use names and addresses!"
