Hi i am Jacob.I need to explain this information to grade 2 students how do i make this information simple?

I got a project from school to explain gaming between computers. But i need to explain it in a very simple manner so that grade 2 students could also understand

Explain hardware like body parts like the CPU is the thinking part of the brain, the motherboard is the backbone, the RAM is short term memory, The hard drive is long term memory, the power supply is the heart, the case is the bones, the GPU is the digestive system.

One thing, why grade 2 students, I don't think any grade 2 student will be building a computer.

in simplest terms network/online gaming is the same as if two students were at home but both wanted to play chess. Neither one can go to the others house to play so instead they call each other on the phone. They both have their own boards in front of them and move the pieces according to what the other person says. So both boards will have the pieces in the exact same positions at the exact same time.

That's about as simple as you can get. Of course this ignores lots of if, and, or, buts that go along with how networking and network games work. But that's the core idea behind it.

Go with why_wolf's suggestion but set up a simple demostration within the classroom.

Hang up a curtain, roll in a blackboard, or otherwise have two volunteer students separated back to back with individual chessboards and pretend telephones.

Kids love hands on and learn well accordingly. If you have the resources - use two cell phones instead of pretend phones.

Then challenge the kids (create teams) to come up with a simple way to communicate just the first simple move (a pawn or knight) using only sound or light. No verbal communications. They will quickly see what it really takes to process even something simple......
