Yes you need a USB-C to USB-A adapter.

Apple sells a one for $19, but you can get aftermarket ones for around $10 or less.

One option: USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple

Another option (that I have not personally used): https://www.amazon.com/Syntech-Adapter-Thunderbolt-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B07CVX3516
