PowerPoint Resources

Click the pictures to download a selection of PowerPoint games and quizzes. Some include help pages, but they should be self explanatory. Feel free to contact Dave if you're stuck. You'll have to come up with your own questions I'm afraid!

To run them, you'll need to enable macros in your security settings (under Tools). After use, never save the PowerPoints as you might overwrite some set up data. It's worth making a working copy to avoid this. Please note that the use of macros means that these will not run using PowerPoint viewer.

Feel free to send me comments for improvement or ideas for new games.

I had problems with the sounds in this file, so you might need to delete or replace them on page 2.

Based on an idea from Steve Hutchinson, SU England, enter the text and reference of a verse, then hide or reveal words to aid memory.
