How to Use the Quiz Show PowerPoint Template

Scroll through the thumbnail pane on the left side of the screen to familiarize yourself with the layout of the game question

and answer slides. Each category consists of five question/answer sets (ten slides) that are color-coded to correspond with its

related category on the main game board.

Overview of the Template

The main game board slide contains five color-coded columns, each consisting of a category title and five levels of point values.

Each point value contains a link

to its corresponding question slide.

While playing the game, click on the

point value to advance to the slide.

Each of the point value number links will change

color once you click on them during the game.

You can input your own categories by typing

them into each category title box.
