Microsoft PowerPoint can work perfectly not only for creating presentations, but also for making up animated activites for the lesson. In this post you will learn how to make games in this programme.
At the lesson you will need a projector and an interactive board.
How to make it? The key thing is to know how to make disappearing icons. That's not that difficult.
Click 'Animations' in menu bar -->'Advanced animation'-->click the object you want to disappear -->Add animation --> Exit animation--> Disappear effect --> Drag the rectangle with the effect on the animation pane. There are a lot of instruction films on youtube.
2. One more idea is to make a QUESTION QUIZ. By clicking the colourful panes you'll see a page with a task. By clicking the red arrow you'll go back to the starting page. Here you can download my template, -->Download
You can fill it in with your own questions.
How to make a similar template? The key function here is 'hyperlink' leding to any other slide. You will find it in any PowerPoint. Select the object, click 'Hyperlink' and choose the slide it has to lead to.
3. CROSSES AND NAUGHTS. Another idea using PowerPoint is the game of crosses and naughts in which teams have to find the answer to some question before checking if there is a cross or a naught. The winner is the team that finds three crosses or three naughts in a row or diagonally. Here's the template you can download. --> CROSSES AND NAUGHTS TEMPLATE
I hope you'll make use of these ideas and your students will find them interesting and motivating.

- Sea battles. A well-known game from our childhood can be used to practice speaking skills and revising grammatical structures. I used this one at the end of the school year (New Hot Spot 3). Students have to make a sentence using the suggested structure and the expression. If the sentence is correct, then you click on the field and check wether there is a battleship. Here you can download my presentation and transform it according to your needs.-->A sea battle game
