How do you make this pizza template an interactive game?
 
English worksheet: Pizza
Hi everyone. I would love to know how to make this PPT template (by moravc) an interactive game. Are there techniques in the "custom animation" feature of Microsoft Powerpoint that will make the arrow spin? How do you make this an interactive game?

Hello, I am sorry, I can �t help you, because I can �t make interactive ppt games...
Maybe some powerpoint expert around?
BTW, the simple picture can be used for pizza - vegetables ppt or pie - fruit ppt... :-)
Just change the colour from pink to beige...

You can insert small veggies + names of veggies appearing on after another...

Hi hieu ngoc,

for you first question, I can �t think of any type of interactive game that would fit the template right now.

But, I think I can help you with the arrow spin..

----------------------------------------------------
Have you heard of the option [ Triggers ] in powerpoint? It is an effect option. Here is how I would do an arrow spin.

01. Insert/Draw your arrow in the middle of the Pizza.

02. With the arrow selected, open the Custom Animation panel, open Add Effect, from Enphasis menu, choose the effect Spin.

03. Right click on the animation you �ve just added in the custom animation panel, and choose Effect Option.

04. From the Effect Option window, go to the Timing tab.

05. Expand the Triggers option, choose the name of the arrow you added from the drop down menu.


By doing this, your arrow will not spin during the slideshow unless it �s been clicked. If you click anywhere else, the arrow will not spin and you will move directly to the next slide. [ Try it on an empty slide ].

06. You can change the angel of the rotation to choose where the arrow should stop. This is under Amount option that appears when you select the animation.

07. Then you can add your question, animate it, pull its animation under the arrow �s animation. [ This way, your question will appear after the arrow stops. ]

If you would like me to work closely with you on this matter, please PM.

Have a nice
