Secret Hitler card game added. This game is not meant to cause offence, but it may do so regardless. Use at your own risk.

Took a look, the vids are wmv files, at least the ones I checked out.

They won't play on a mac. Is that what you're using? If so, try it on a windows computer.

They often won't play on Windows PCs either.  Even though the w is for Windows.

In that case, installing Silverlight player may help. Many types of vids won't play in Powerpoint unless certain players are also installed on the computer. Silverlight was discontinued by Microsoft, but I find that it's still necessary on a lot of computers, depending on the OS, software, and media.

When you open the file in powerpoint, if you click "file" then the first option on the top of the screen will probably be to convert media for compatibility.

When you do that, on reasonably new versions of powerpoint, it will convert those wmv files to mp4. It may also convert/compress a lot of the wav files to mp3.

These are amazing, thanks!  Especially enjoyed doing the Christmas music game today with my afterschool class.

I've added a media zip under the 'Film Watch & Listen' game for those whose machines are not letting them use the video files. See if that works.

I have added a new video-watching game that has students watch videos of fast food interactions and answer questions.
