Ideas for Using PowerPoint with Your Curriculum
Using PowerPoint with Younger Students
1. Have students create riddles based on a topic being studied - first slide type the question & the second slide would have the answer
2. Have students create a presentation on a an animal - first slide would have a name of the animal & the second would have a picture and sentence about the animal
3. Have students create WORD RECOGNITION flash cards - first slide has the word & the second slide would have a picture of the word with a sound file of the word inserted
4. Have students create math flash cards - first slide picture problem & second slide solution
5. Have your class create a "How To ..." presentation where each student makes a slide for ONE of the steps (how to make a PBJ sandwich, a jack-o-lantern, plant a seed, etc...)
6. Have your class create a a slide show where each student makes a one slide about a topic being studied (i.e. weather facts, plants, animals, food groups, "ALL ABOUT ME," health, transportation, safety, etc...)
