Let’s Resize Images! | Mouse Practice & Resizing Images
Help your youngest learners develop precision and control with Let’s Resize Images!—a hands-on digital activity that teaches students how to click, drag, and resize images on the screen. Perfect for K–2 computer literacy classes or homeschool tech instruction, this task builds confidence with corner handles and introduces early digital design skills.
In this activity, students resize smaller pictures to fit into larger outlined placeholders—giving them both visual and motor practice with resizing tools in Google Slides.
What’s Included:
- A Google Slides activity where students resize images to match outlines
- Step-by-step video instructions to model the resizing process
- Click, drag, and corner handle practice for skill development
- Tips to fix grouped shapes and encourage growth mindset
Skills Covered:
- Using corner handles to resize images
- Click-and-drag coordination
- Precision placement within digital objects
- Tech fluency for early learners
Perfect For:
- K–2 computer tech class or specials
- Homeschool tech instruction
- Digital skill stations or centers
- A follow-up to “Let’s Click and Drag” and “Let’s Click, Drag, and Match!”
Why It Works:
Students build muscle memory and visual-spatial understanding while adjusting image sizes to fit inside larger outlines—reinforcing mouse control and introducing early digital creativity.
This activity is part of the TechWise Academy “Little Learners” course, a complete digital literacy series for early elementary students.
