How do I make a game of jeopardy on PowerPoint?

I seen people make games like jeopardy and pyramid and stuff, how can I make one?How do I make a game of jeopardy on PowerPoint?
1 Open MS Power Point.

2 Select the blank slide format.

3 Choose your color scheme. I went with our school colors.

4 Go to “Insert” and select “Table.”

5 Make a table with six rows and five columns.

6 Drag the corners of the table until it is the size you want it to be.

7 On the top row, type the names of your categories.

8 In each row underneath, type the point values. Your slide should look something like this (click for larger view). Don’t worry if your point values are not underlined. This will happen when you hyperlink your slides.

9 Select “Insert” and choose “New Slide.”

10 Create a text box by selecting “Insert” and “Text Box.”

11 Type the question for the first category and point level.

12 Repeat steps 8 through 10 until you have exhausted questions for the first category.

13 Repeat steps 8-11 for each new category until you have written 25 questions.

14 Go back to slide two, which is the first question for the first category.

15 Select “Insert” and “Picture.” Select “AutoShapes.” Choose the shape you like. I use the little house, because it reminds me to click it to go back “home.”

16. Select the picture. It should have a little square around it with round dots at the corners and edges — dragging the corners or dots will help you adjust the size of the picture if you like.

17. Select “Insert” and “Hyperlink” or press CTRL-K.

18. Select the radio button that says “Hyperlink to” and select “First Slide” from the drop-down menu.

19. Copy the button by pressing CTRL-C or right-clicking the button and selecting “Copy” or selecting “Edit” and “Copy” from the toolbar.

20. Paste the button on slides 3 through 26.

21. Now go back to slide 1.

22. Select the text for first point value in the first category.

23. Select “Insert” and “Hyperlink” or press CTRL-K.

24. Select “Place in This Document.”

25. Select Slide 2.

26. Repeat steps 22 through 24 for each slide; be sure to link the point values to the correct questions. For example, your third slide should be linked to the second point value in the first category.

27. Test your slide show by selecting “Slide Show” and “View Show” or pressing F5. Make sure your point values are linked to the proper questions and make sure each AutoShape links back to Slide 1.

28. You’re done!



Unofortunately, you’ll need to keep a paper with the answer key near you or else making this game will be a lot more complicated than it already is. I would suggest that when you need to make a new Jeopardy game that you just open your first game and edit it. It will save time. You can download a sample game I created to play with. It isn’t editable, but it will give you an idea of how the show should function and look. Of course, it goes without saying that this is great for test review — and it’s fun.
