How do you play?
Open the PowerPoint and choose the game you want.
Drag the leprechaun behind one of the pots. Click “present.”
Kids guess a letter or word by reading it. Click on the top of the pot to make it disappear! It’s like magic! When the leprechaun appears, you have a winner!
You can easily play again by moving the leprechaun to a new spot or picking a new game slide!
You can play this game in Google, BUT it does not have the same animation features as PowerPoint.
Here are the steps to play in Google Slides:
1. Choose the game slide you want and duplicate it.
2. Hide the leprechaun behind one of the pots.
3. Keep the slide in edit mode and project or share your screen with students.
4. As students guess, delete the pots they choose.
Can I add my own words or pictures?
Yes. You can use the editable game to add your own words, numbers, letters, or images.
If I click on the words, it changes to the next slide. What’s wrong?
You need to click on the top of the pots to make them disappear. The text boxes are not animated so they won’t disappear. This allows you to keep track of the words or letters you’ve already guessed.
