1) Use any graphics program, Photoshop for instance, to create a puzzle. Hint: Google images is very useful in finding the pictures you need.
2) “Insert” the puzzle into slide 2. Resize it so it is an exact fit and then right click and use the ORDER command to send the puzzle to the back.
3) To remove a puzzle just move any square out of the way. Move the cursor over the underlying puzzle and ‘cut’ the puzzle.
4) Add the questions and answers. Leave sound bites as they are, delete them (action settings) or insert your own.
5) Add the answer to the last slide.
