You can see in the image above that I changed the bar chart to a column chart. Try to make your two truths and lie as short as possible. Shorter responses are always easier to read in the chart. Then that person repeats what you said to the person next to them. The chain continues on until the final person states aloud what they heard.
You can use this in your presentation in an educational way by starting with a question that the audience wants to know i. Then, whisper the answer to the first person. Make sure to speak in a complete sentence — rather than just a few words — to make it tougher for your participants.
A little advice: If you want to make this game go faster, you can do this by individual audience rows, instead of involving the whole room. It can also be fun to compare the different end results. Just know that the more people you have involved, the more twisted and funny the result becomes.

Make the title a riddle that has a single-word answer not a sentence or a list. Click it so that a picture of two phones appears. If the correct answer is the largest word in the cloud, that means most of the audience got it right. By hiding the results and revealing them after everyone has voted, you prevent participants from submitting whatever seems like the most popular answer.
When the results are hidden, there is a small counter in the lower left that shows you how many have responded. That way, you know when voting is finished.
These questions are then shared and discussed at the end of the presentation. This helps you minimize interruptions and ensure you reach the end of your presentation within the allotted time.

This is especially helpful for lengthy, content-rich presentations to a large audience. Putting in the effort in advance really pays off when you see the constructive feedback that comes in as a result. At Poll Everywhere, everyone dedicates a few hours each month to customer support.
The Customer Support team periodically runs workshops to bolster our CS skills, and they always cap off the event with a survey. Completing this survey is an efficient way of reviewing what was presented, and gives whoever ran the workshop a clear indication of how the material was absorbed. Poll Everywhere includes an example survey with general presentation-feedback questions.
However, you can edit those questions, or simply start from scratch. With all these quizzes and questions , you might feel like your PowerPoint is turning into a game show.
If you need to give the audience and yourself a break, slot in a quick video. All you need is an internet connection. There are two ways to go with this idea: practical or fun. On the practical end of the spectrum, you have the summary slide. This slide, typically found at the end of a PowerPoint, sums up everything presented into a few, succinct bullet points.
The sticky notes stay in place. Students can open the PowerPoint file any time and none of the slides have fallen off the wall or been moved around. They can have unlimited sticky notes -- in unlimited colors! And they can add images, videos, icons, arrows, and more to their sticky note board. Click here to download the PowerPoint template!
This is one of my top five go-to techy classroom techniques. It's easy, it's quick and it connects students' work. Create a PowerPoint presentation and then create a slide for every student in the class.
Share the presentation with students and assign each student a slide number. Students can use it as a quick "do now" activity, as an exit ticket or other types of formative assessment.
They can also use the search when inserting images to find a picture relevant to the topic at hand. This is a great hack i. Check out this video , where the creators made an impressive animation with PowerPoint just by clicking through the slides quickly. Get the tools, the practical ideas, and the inspiration to transform the way you use technology in the classroom! Students can label parts of an image that they know, find relevant or think are interesting.
Use arrows and text boxes or arrow shapes! Add text boxes next to the arrows to describe what the arrows are pointing to. This is where students will show what they know, what they find interesting, etc. You'll want to change the background color of the text box if it's transparent use the paint bucket icon at the top after you've clicked on the text box. Get the PowerPoint template here. With Creative Commons photos at their disposal, students can create great storybooks using Google Slides.
Find these images by inserting an image and clicking "Search," or go directly to search. Make sure they're giving attribution and a link to the original image! Images can drive the story or vice versa. Students write and create, and when finished, they can share their storybooks or embed them in a class website. Turn vocabulary lists into an engaging, meaningful learning activity with slides and images. By inserting images students can illustrate their vocabulary lists with beautiful Creative Commons images.
Connections in the brain with new words are stronger if they're paired with an image. Those presentations can be displayed for class or saved for personal study. Blogging is a useful reflective activity that can generate a lot of online conversation among students.
A quick, simple version of blogging can be created in a Google presentation. Create a shared presentation, and have students write a short "blog post" in their slide. They can even add images When complete, students can read each other's writing and write comments on them using the comment button in the toolbar.
Conversations stay grouped together when students reply to each other using the "reply" button. Happy New Year! My students enjoyed the games. This is awesome! I will use them in my English classroom! Thank you. I hope they work well for you! Thank you! Wishing you a happy and rewarding !
