Instructions

        1. Plan the presentation. To teach kids to use PowerPoint you first have to gain their interest. Tell to brainstorm ideas that might be fun to give a short presentation on. Show them a very basic outline of what goes into a PowerPoint presentation. Quickly discuss how they can use pictures, text, and maybe even animations for their presentations. Teach kids to use PowerPoint by letting them decide what to give a presentation about. Now that they have a general idea of what they`re going to be doing, ask them to come up with 2-3 ideas and pick their favorite one.
       

2. Show them your presentation. Now that they have a topic, and a general idea of what PowerPoint is, you need to show them an example. Teach kids to use PowerPoint with a visual example of what a PowerPoint presentation should look like. Now that they have a basic idea of PowerPoint, they can look for the things you talked about, and hopefully get ideas for their presentation. It`s a good idea to ask them to write down things they like about your presentation. This way they pay closer attention, and are more likely to incorporate those things into their own PowerPoint presentations. Your presentation may be the most effective aspect of teaching kids to use PowerPoint.
