Making a Drag and Drop Activity in PowerPoint

This is a quick tutorial showing how I create drag and drop activities for my classroom. These activities can be used at all levels and can make it easier for you to assign and grade diagrams when working in a virtual environment.

I realized after finishing the video that I mixed up a couple of the text boxes and said Katie Bell instead of Kasey Bell, let's just chalk it up to nerves. :)

Thanks for this tutorial - helped me put together a Halloween Candy Matching game.
Happy to share the final version and a working copy that I typed in some reminders for myself and some teachers that I will share with.

Love this video—thank you! It is short, simple into the point. Perfect! Please do more, thank you.

Thanks so much for showing me how to "lock" the instructions.

Thanks Lexie, I'm from PTY, but your video helped me a lot. We also use MS 365 in our school and I needed help with this topic.

We use office 365 also! Thank you for showing me how to make this for my kiddos!

Thanks, this is really helpful! I will be using this in an upcoming presentation at university. I hoped to find a way to make my ppt interactive 🙂

I would love more videos. I would also like to see How to place these in OneNote.

I have a question? Is there a way to have the moveable obits be fade out after being placed in the spaces?

[lisaallen]

Thank you, are students able to change the text inside the boxes that are moveable? I am also wondering if you make a copy for each student? One more question, how do you send it to students? Thank you

that's great but unfortunately PPT is a slideshow presentation and this tutorial does not work when you show the presentation to the public.

[yolondamooney]

Thank you! I am looking for a drag and drop training for putting sentences together. Do you have something like that? Interested in making the instructional videos?

[deannamartin]

Thank you for the helpful video! How can I share this with students and still allow them to move the boxes? When I share to "anyone with the link" it is read only.

[johnmaher]

Thank you, Lexie. Very helpful!

A serious question. I understand how you lock the instructions so that students can't move them or edit them. I can see how the text boxes cane be moved. But can you lock down the TEXT in the text boxes? (So that they can move the box.... but can't change or edit the contents).

[ecinajasmr]

But if you play the slideshow, the texts cant be dragged anymore right? What to do to still drag things while on slideshow?

[nursabrina]

hello, can you share how to move the answer in slideshow mode? or cannot be move when in slideshow mode?
