This is a fun and engaging resource designed to be used with your TUTOR GROUP - students take it in turns to enter their name into the PowerPoint application and then find and select the correct advent calendar date. The resource is programmed in VBA and the calendar will respond when clicked with one of FOUR REWARDS - (1) Chocolate (2) Watch a Movie Trailer (3) Play a Game (4) Mystery Prize. If an incorrect date is selected the Advent Calendar has a programmed response, and will allow the user to try again until they find the correct date.

Simply select the Designer Mode, enter a Title for your game and then add your top 20 list items. When you are done click on Play and you will be able to play and present "your version" of Family Fortunes.
