Engagement Activity – Team PowerPoint Karaoke
Object of the game
This is a game that will test skills, encourage team work, get people laughing and keep everyone wondering what will happen next.
It is an improv game where a small team has 5 minutes to prep a presentation on a slide-deck they’ve never seen before.

Host Instructions
Before the event
- Download the slide deck from here or create your own
- Decide on your teams – we recommend using https://www.randomlists.com to randomly generate teams:
- Enter names for each of your participants
- Enter the number of groups required
- Click the “Re-Run” button
- Create an online meeting event – it must be one capable of each team sharing their screen (e.g. Skype, Microsoft Teams, Zoom). We recommend keeping the activity a surprise
- Let participants know who is in each team and what the running order
- Ask each team to setup their own messaging group capable of sharing screens (Skype, Microsoft Teams, Zoom) prior to the event to ensure it runs smoothly
At the start of the event
