Need a new review game? Do you want to work on public speaking and thinking quickly on the student’s feet? How about a new twist on a review game? This activity may be it! Get ready for laughing, a little panic and a whole lot of fun.

The teacher will first create a slide show of about 15-20 slides, or whatever number is appropriate for your grade. Set each slide for 15 seconds. Next, create a list of topics the “presenter” will need to discuss. Now choose your presenter. This person will not know the topic or see any pictures until you begin the show. He/she can can present on his own, tag other members of the class when he needs help or work with a partner.

The pictures for the slides can come from pechaflikr – but be sure to preview for grade appropriateness – or use your own slides.

How can this be used in the school? Liven up a faculty meeting for a great ice breaker activity. Create a show of random slides on one topic. Create a list of trendy topics that may come from curriculum, school improvement plans, school wide discipline plans, national hot topics,  etc.  Select a teacher and let the fun begin.

If you are a classroom teacher, why not create slide show about a story you have read or a History or Science review?
