Watch and remember the 20 objects scrolling across the screen on an animated conveyor belt. Afterwards children write down as many objects as they can remember, or alternatively the teacher could ask each child in turn to list one.
There are two slides with two versions of this game. If you’d like to create a third, simply right click on each image and select ‘Change picture’.
Create your own hangman game to use in all kinds of lessons for keywords, phrases, quizzes etc. There is one simple PowerPoint slide that you can copy and paste for as many games as you need.
It only require some short prep to use - just drag and drop the black lowercase (sassoon primary) letters onto the white box and you’re ready to go! During the lesson, play the slideshow and as kids shout out letters - click on the corresponding blue tile and watch the black letter spin in! If the letter is missing, click where the hangman is and the next consequence stage animates in.
EDIT: Added a second PPT file - A Capital Letter version (both versions included in this one purchase)

The 'pack' includes four PowerPoint presentations:
Two of them are full screen timers - either 30 seconds OR 5 minutes. The other two are corner timers - again either 30 seconds OR 5 minutes.
The 5 minute timers: The circles containing 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 minutes don't count seconds, instead they will slowly rotate for 1 minute. When the time is down to 30 seconds it will spin each second.
The 30 second timers exit spin, one per second.
The timer has a transparent surround, meaning that the orange background can safely be changed to any colour or any lesson.
More info and screenshots can be found at: https://markmolloyresources.wordpress.com/2017/03/13/powerpoint-timers/
A starter activity to get a new class or group talking. Give each child a ‘bingo sheet’ - they walk around the classroom asking other children if they can ‘sign’ one of the boxes.
A fun general knowledge quiz in PowerPoint. Consisting of 5 rounds and 3 bonus puzzles. The rounds are:

A quick and fun way to select options.
The first slide gives a choice of 4 speeds, select one and it will transition to a spinning wheel. Click and the wheel will stop. When finished, click the arrow to go back to the start.
Children can pick one of four cars to 'back'. The cars then race across the screen and come first, second or third. This can be used as a quick and fun way to pick which group or child 'goes first', or perhaps as a quick starter to refocus children.
A quick game to use in a variety of ways in the classroom to make a lesson fun! Many sheep will jump over the fence, kids count them and see who's answer was correct. They will jump in an irregular pattern - sometimes in groups or sometimes on their own.
You can copy and paste the slides and make your own, I've written step by step instructions to help!
Children choose one of three snails to race. Click go and watch them slide to the finish line and finish in first, second or third place.
Note: The font I used was ‘Avenir’, if you don’t own that font the text may move slightly. If needed you can change the font as normal.

Create your own keyword guessing game. Kids pick a letter, click it on the screen and any matches will appear in your chosen key phrase. (It is similar to hangman, but there is no hanging-man or consequences for a wrong guess - sadly PowerPoint can't do that!)
Zoom out of the slide to see full instructions on how to create your own game.
Please note: Depending on your version of PPT the font may change slightly - but you can easily draw a selection box around everything and change the font if needed.
A fun Christmas Quiz consisting of 6 rounds with 40 questions in total. The six rounds are: Christmas movies (8 questions), Christmas anagrams (6), Celebrity pictures with Santa disguises (8), Christmas music (5), Christmas chocolate (6), and a Memory picture round (7). It's a slight alternative to the 'pub-quiz' or multiple choice style.
The 'pack' consists of: A well designed PowerPoint presentation (in 2 halves due to file size), a blank question sheet, and a filled in answer sheet.
The classic game of pairs - One click on the number tile reveals the picture, a second click hides the picture.
The first file is a Disney friends version - the aim is to pair together the friendships (e.g: Piglet & Pooh / Woody & Buzz / Batman & Robin). The second is a lego version - match the same minifigures. Both files have three reshuffled 'games' ready to go.
Please note: If you want to make more: Move the picture and the number tile together - then just retype the number. If you move just the picture then the animation triggers won't function properly.
A fun way to give points to a class, group or individual. When they complete a classroom task, they choose a door which either has a 'bag of money' with plus points, or has a robber with minus points.
Also attached is a 'no robbers' variant.
