Highlight "Click Here" and link it to slide 2 by selecting it then right click and go to hyperlink. A box will pop up. You pick Place in This Document, pick slide titles, then slide 2. Create a scenario for this slide and create options to deal with the scenario. For example, slide 2 would look like: You are lost in a desert, do you: Look for water. Build a sandcastle. Think of a fun, interesting or astonishing fact about yourself, and then invent two fake ones.
Your attendees have to vote which statement they think is true. Be prepared to see some very surprised faces in your audience! PowerPoint-Karaoke is the perfect improvisation game.
Players are confronted with a set of slides they have never seen before and try to give a presentation as convincingly as possible. If you want to know all about this game and get some slides you can use for playing, check out our detailed blog post on PowerPoint-Karaoke.
Therefore, it is only convenient if you have enough space. Create an imaginary line across the room. One end stands for one opinion, the other end for the exact opposite opinion. Your attendees can now place themselves on this line wherever they like right in the middle, on either end or somewhere in between. You can then even interview people on the line it is always interesting to choose two from opposite sites and learn about their views.
Attention — you can of course ask about political or more controversial topics, but that may escalate and turn into a fight, which is not the purpose of the game or your presentation. Let your audience draw from cards with words on them and then describe it for the other attendees. It is basically like charades, but with words instead of acting.
Some may find that too easy. A tip for making statements false: Change little things about the them, like numbers, dates or names or use common misconceptions and see how many of your attendees buy into them, e.
The never-ending sentence is a great game that incorporates many of your attendees and awakens their brain cells. There are 5 coins worth 2 points. There are 3 coins worth 3 points. There are 2 coins worth 5 points. Note: You can change the placement of the coins, but you will have to adjust the animation triggers.
If you move a coin from under square 7 to square 3, you will have to change the animation trigger from square 7 to square 3, otherwise the coin in square 3 will only appear when you click on square 7.
Pair Up is a new PowerPoint game. This game works well with both large and small classes. It works well with both teams and individual players. Divide your class into suitable numbers. At the bottom of the slide, there is a hint that tells the students how many matches there are. In the center of the slide, there is a white box that can contains part of the collocation. If the students choose a word that they think completes the collocation and it is incorrect the box will turn red.
If the students choose a correct answer, it will turn green. All the surrounding words are set to change to red as if they were incorrect answers. Once you have added in your words, you will need to change the color for the correct answers.
Follow these steps:. If your word has two or more matches, you will have the change the fill animation for two or more answer boxes. I created the bullseye template as a variation from the grid layout used in other PowerPoint games.
The design of the board is similar to both Jeopardy and Mystery Squares in that there are different points awarded for each section of the board. However, there are no questions and answers in this template, it is just a way of keep track of points. You will need to create your own questions that reflect the content of your course. All students in the class are free to answer the question. How the students respond is up to you, but you could tell the students to use a buzzer, ask them to raise their hands or write the answer on a mini board.
The student who answers the question associated with A3 correctly, they win 3 points for their team. These were multiple choice question templates. Traditionally, the question cards have always only had four options for the answers A,B,C and D , however, recently I have received a few comments about how to create additional letters and options.
As a result, with this latest version, I have included templates for four answers, six answers and eight answers. To create your own class quiz, copy the slides you need into a new PowerPoint and write your own questions and answers.
When your PowerPoint is ready, you are ready to play. The students choose a square using a letter and number combination e. D3, A4, C6. Encourage the students to make a sentence with the word or phrase in that square.
If the student is successful, click on the square to reveal whether there is a ship underneath. For example, if the ship covers three squares, award the students three points. Read the original post for more information about how to edit the PowerPoint, move the ships and play the game.
During a real football game, players tackle each other and take control of the ball. An easy way to simulate this is to use a dice. The greater the challenge, the more exciting the game is. The Football Game is also a very versatile PowerPoint game because it can be used with any set of questions.
Additionally, the game can also be transferred easily to the students. There is a paper-based version available to download from the original post. I wrote about 5 ways to play Jeopardy back in January of , since then I have updated the PowerPoint template.
Jeopardy is a game where the players are given the answer and are asked to form the question, however many ESL quiz games ask a question, so the teacher can judge if the students have understood the material by the answer they have given.
This template can be suitable for both quiz forms. The template is called Jeopardy because of the board layout. Open the template and you will see the menu board. Each square is linked to a specific slide in the presentation. Click on red 1 and you will move to the red topic and the question that is worth 1 point. Each question slide has one box for the question and one box for the answer. Add your own questions and answers to the template and you are ready to play.
Concentration is a memory game where the students try to remember the location of matching pairs. This activity encourages the students to remember collocations, definitions and meanings. The template contains 3 slides. Each slide represents a different difficulty. The first uses colors and numbers as a guide to match the cards. If the students are correct, leave the cards uncovered and award points to their team. Then, test this quiz game out yourself to make sure everything is linked correctly!
This method is easy to grasp but can be time-consuming, especially if your quiz is lengthy. This brings us to method number two. ClassPoint allows you to create that exact same quiz game, without all the links, in only a few clicks. The first step is to add a Multiple-Choice button on your slide deck from the ClassPoint tab in the top ribbon. Select the correct number of choices and the correct answer on the side panel.
Most importantly, we need to select Competition Mode. The button on the slide now has a trophy icon meaning that students will be scored and ranked depending on their answers. Further down, we will use all the Play Options and a timer of 15 seconds to create urgency for students to answer.
Continue this process for each question in your quiz game. That concludes the set up, next we can test it out. Begin slideshow and have students join your class. When everyone is joined, begin the first question! Click on the button to begin receiving submissions from your students. This window can be minimized to see a full view of the slides and hide the responses.
The question button is now yellow and shows the number of students who have submitted their answers , and the countdown timer. When the countdown is completed, the window will reappear showing you a bar graph of the student results. Each bar will denote the number of students that have chosen that answer, along with the percentage. Each bar can be clicked on to show exactly which students have chosen that answer.
Reveal the correct answer for your students, then you can show the Leader Board. The leader board is scored depending on the speediness and correctness of student submissions. This makes the game more exciting because every question is an opportunity to move up in the rankings.
Once the whole quiz game is completed, take a look at the final leader board.
