Powerpoint Lesson Plans: Many students find traditional English and math exercises boring and dull. I
encourage you to use fun powerpoint activities to bring life to these boring exercises.
I have designed my powerpoint presentations for teachers to be fun and engaging
learning activities. The majority of these powerpoint lessons are presented
in a fun game style format. All of my powerpoint lesson plans require
students to be actively engaged in the activity by having to follow along
by filling in a student response worksheet as students are viewing each slide
in the powerpoint presentation.
I use large animations (graphics that move) that are all related
to one specific theme for each separate powerpoint presentation that I
create. These funny powerpoint presentations
will capture your students' interest with the large animated graphics that
are used throughout the entire slide show.
My powerpoint presentations have been designed using two fonts: Arial
Black and Comic Sans. I chose these fonts because they are the fonts
that are the most widely found on most computers, and they will not
change the style and format of the slides when viewed on your classroom
computer and projector.
I use engaging and funny graphic animations when I am designing my powerpoint
presentations for teachers. I locate colorful background templates for the
lessons that I prepare. I design the entire powerpoint slide show around
one theme or topic (examples: circus, Earth Day, cars, farm animals,
Halloween, winter, spring, etc.)
In addition, I have designed the majority of my educational powerpoint
presentations to contain a fun game style format.
My students actually get excited and cheer when they realize that they
are about to complete a grammar review lesson using a funny powerpoint
presentation game that I have designed.
How often do your students cheer when they have to complete a grammar
review worksheet?
I highly recommend using fun powerpoint presentations in order to
engage your students in learning. Once you have observed your students
engaged and interested in your powerpoint lesson plans, you will want to
continue presenting new lessons to your students using this technology.
The last school that I taught at only had one computer projector for the
entire school. I decided to buy a projector for my classroom to use with my own
students. It was the most worthwhile investment that I ever made using my own
money for my classroom and students. It literally changed the way that
I prepared and delivered my lessons.

I love all your powerpoints. I used the Halloween one for my observation/evaluation this year and have never received better scores. All of the students were participating and loved having their names in the sentences. Your powerpoints made me look great in front of my principal. She is now sharing your website with other teachers on our staff. I would love it if you would keep adding to your website. I have purchased 3/4 of it (I only discovered you last October of You Tube) and I am always looking for more ideas. Keep up the great work.

Heidi, I just had to write and let you know that your website has helped me create the most awesome author study of Roald Dahl's books. My students loved completing the big animal shaped projects you designed for The Enormous Crocodile, Esio Trot, and The Giraffe, and the Pelly and Me. For the final project, they had so much fun writing and drawing about the characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory using your Willy Wonka Factory project. Thanks for sharing your scrumdiddlyumptious ideas !

I'm writing to tell you that my students just finished the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory group projects. They worked so hard, and the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory projects turned out great! We had them to show for student led conferences. The parents were very impressed, and so were many of the other teachers and my principal. They all commented on my students' work and your creative templates. My students had so much fun doing these projects. I also used the multiplication pizza sticker charts. My students loved those as well!! Thank you so much for all of your amazing products.
