Vocabulary building PowerPoint game

There are three teams.

Elmo (red) Doraemon (blue) Yoshi (green).

Students will use their vocabulary to guess the word corresponding to all four pictures on the slide.

First student of a group to raise their hand and call out the word gets the points for that picture (point worth is located on the top of each slide)

There is a 'get ready' slide. This is used for prepping the students up. The get ready slide advances automatically on slideshow mode.

Once a student from a team guesses the word correctly, you will need to click on that group's color in order for that team's points to automatically calculate on the score slide (2nd slide). This is a macro enabled PowerPoint so make sure you enable it to use the auto calculate feature *PowerPoint 2016 and higher.

Side notes- There are some difficult pictures/words , so choose the grade/level appropriate slides for your students.
This is my first contribution to ALTopedia because I felt bad receiving and not giving. I will contribute more.

      This looks like such a fun activity! I hope to use it...but for some reason I cannot figure out how to progress from the home screen (with the characters). I have Office16.

      Yeah, on my work computer the counting works but moving from slide to slide not so much.

      Mikanmudcake, and Uonuma if you want to progress from the character slides, you need to press the forward or back keys on your computer. However, the best way to progress is to select a certain slide during a slideshow. You will have to be on the presenter's view on MS PowerPoint then select the icon "all slides" and you can choose any slide you want to show during the game. That way you don't have to close down the PowerPoint view to transition to a certain slide. Hope that helps.
