Simple quiz. Each slide of the powerpoint begins with an outline map of one of the competing countries in Euro 2012. A click of the mouse will reveal the football strip of that country, modelled by a Subbuteo / Zeugo figure. Another click will reveal the flag of that country. A fourth click will reveal the name of the team. How many clicks do your pupils need before they identify the team?
