PowerPoint Games

There are Two Types of PowerPoint Game Templates Below

1) Whole Class Participation - Most of these games are designed for use in a classroom setting where the teacher has their computer hooked up to a projector or large screen TV so that everyone in the class can view them.


2) Games for Individual Student Use - Most of these games are designed to be used in a one computer to one student set up. Most are simple drill and practice games, but some can be modified to encourage problem solving skills.
