How to Convert a PowerPoint Game to Google Slides

This is another free tutorial for teachers from The Curriculum Corner.

Wondering how to convert a PowerPoint game to Google Slides so you are able to use it in Google Classroom? We are here to help!

We know that many teachers out there are using Google Classroom to help them through this extended period of e-learning. This is the newest in our collection of tutorials to help you out if this is new to you.

One tip before you get started – if you are the one creating the PowerPoint games, be sure to choose fonts that can be fond in PowerPoint along with Google Slides. This will make converting from one to the other easier – there will be no need to adjust fonts and layouts when you make the conversion.

Not sure which fonts are good choices? Here are a few options: Arial, Calibri, Comic Sans, Georgia or Impact.

For our sample, we started with the practice PowerPoint game we made in our last tutorial. You will find this here: How to Make a PowerPoint Game.
