Earth Day Trivia Game – Library and Classroom Games – Earth Day Activities

IS THIS EARTH DAY TRIVIA GAME COMPATIBLE WITH…?

• This game is NOT compatible with Google Slides, Open Office, Libre Office, or other software that is not PowerPoint 2016 or later. The game board dollar amounts are trigger animation links, which do not tend to work outside PowerPoint. The trigger animation links are important to game play.
• For best results, your PowerPoint version should be at least 2016 or later. Earlier versions of PPT may not support the trigger animation links.
• Not sure your version of PPT? You can test the game (link above). If your dollar amounts disappear when you return to the game board, then your PowerPoint version is compatible with this game.
