How to Use Powerpoint Matching Games with Students
This article will help you see how to play the Powerpoint Matching Games in my Teacher’s Pay Teachers Store with your students. These games are great for either distance learning or in-person classes. I personally use them in my online classes with my students.
First and most important: You MUST be in PRESENTATION mode for these to work! You also must use these in Powerpoint. The animations will NOT convert to Google Slides or Keynote.
The biggest issue I have found is when my students click off of the boxes (on the background). That will cause the slide to advance, so you will need to go back to the previous slide (I usually hit the back arrow key).
Here is a video that shows the game on screen. Let me know if you have any questions, I hope you enjoy using these with your students.
More About My Bilingual Life
Here at My Bilingual Life, we want to help you (or your students) become bilingual. You are in the right place if you are studying Spanish or English for yourself, you are a homeschool family looking for bilingual resources, or a classroom teacher in a dual language, immersion, or bilingual school. We have teacher resources available here.
These listening comprehension activities are perfect if you are studying a language by yourself. Therefore, they are simple for beginning students and provide comprehensible input. You can also practice reading fluency with the video transcript. We have suggestions on how you can best use these videos in both English and Spanish. Also included are activities to increase your vocabulary and comprehension.
We have many resources available on Teachers Pay Teachers. Be sure to check them out. For example, we have a series of biographies for Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month. We also have animal reading comprehension passages and a variety of vocabulary learning activities. There are also activities available for grammar and word walls.
