Creating a Classroom Game

In This Lab

Making the game board

Creating the question slides

Creating the answer slides

Linking up the game board

PowerPoint's ability to hyperlink between slides and hide slides until they are needed makes it a natural choice for creating multiple-choice quizzes and games. You can create a slide with a question on it and then create hidden slides for each of the possible answers. Then, depending on which answer the user clicks, a different hidden slide appears indicating whether the answer was right or wrong.

In this project lab, you learn how to create a simple game to use in a classroom setting that tests students' understanding of the informational presentation you worked with in Lab 3.
