Interactive fun powerpoint game based on classic childrens games

(0)
Here is one of the powerpoints I made for our house competitions. Players can select from one of the classic children’s games and gain points by playing the game. The powerpoint is fully automated and interactive, There are various outcomes so if they do it once they could do it again for a different outcome. You can add slides and change the transition/links if you desire to make it easier or hard. Interactive games Operation Buckaroo Pop up Pirate Jenga Kerplunk Guess Who and a guess the board game quiz thrown in! This took a couple of hours to create so if you use it and find it useful please review. Thanks
