Are you looking for an easy and reusable way to gamify your classroom and engage your students in learning fun? Look no further than editable game templates in PowerPoint!
What are Game Templates?
Editable game templates are games, based in PowerPoints or Google Slides, that can be used to create a unique learning experience for your learners.
These templates have the game already built into them and allow you to enter the questions and answers that best fit your students’ needs. They can also be used all year long, and are perfect for digital learning.
How to Use an Editable Game Templates
Step #1
Choose which editable game template you would like to start with and download it to your computer.
Some of my favorites are:
Digital Stinky Feet
Hot Stew Review
Game Show Style a la Jeopardy
Digital Scavenger Hunts
You can check out all of the Editable Game Templates I have available here.
Step #2
Open the file on your computer using either PowerPoint or Google Slides. Most of these games will also work in Keynote, but not all. For the full game experience please use one of the recommended programs.
Choose the “Save As” option and rename the template file for the subject and topic you will be using. This allows you to save a clean template and makes it easier to create more versions of the game.
If you are using a Google Slides template you will begin by making a copy of the template automatically and can skip right to renaming the file.
Step #3
Use the pre-inserted text boxes to enter your chosen questions and answers.
Most templates come with spaces for twenty questions and answers. Be sure you are in the edit mode of your preferred program.
Do NOT change the formatting of the slides as this could potentially change the game elements and cause the template to no longer work. You can however change the font or size of the text.
Step #4
After you have entered our questions and answers you are ready to play!
Place the presentation in slide show or presentation mode to activate the action buttons and you are ready to go!
To make another edition of the game, simply start with the blank template again.
