I just don’t understand why a lot of people aren’t downloading this awesome ESL PowerPoint – Where in the World. This is a fun ESL PowerPoint game, and it’s free!
That’s right, a few months ago I put the first 2 ESL games for free. A couple days ago I was looking at my site analytics report and I saw that hardly anyone’s looked at this game.
Then I realized that I hadn’t really talked it up that much since making it free. Well, here goes.

Free ESL PowerPoint Game
This fun and easy ESL game only has 28 slides, for a total of 14 pictures. Students need to name the city, country, or continent that the picture shows to get points.
The catch is, I always take the very first word out of the students’ mouth. So if there’s a great picture of Beijing, and they know it’s Beijing, but they get excited and yell out China, well, that’s going to be less points.

How Does it Work?
I always show a copy of my world map, which is saved right in My Documents so that it’s easy to pull up. I tell them that the world has seven continents, and ask them to name a few. They’re pretty good.
I then ask how many countries there are. A lot of students will come close. There are about 206 to 207, depending on the world situation at the time. After that I ask how many cities, and I get a groan. I don’t know, millions.

Points are Simple:
If one team doesn’t know, I give the other team a chance. If one team gets the continent or country, I give the other team a chance to get the next answer.
- Continent = 1 point
- Country = 2 points
- City = 3 points.
