Time to Play Kid-Friendly Hangman!

The Disappearing Ice Cream Sundae Interactive PowerPoint is perfect for kids! It functions the same as the game we all know but is targeted towards children (or anyone with a sweet tooth). Let’s face it, what could be worse than seeing a delicious treat slowly disappearing before your eyes?

To play, students guess one letter at a time by clicking on a letter tile. If the letter is in the word, it will automatically appear on one of the letter lines. If the letter is not in the word, they will have to click the Eraser button to make part of the ice cream sundae disappear. If they guess the whole word with ice cream still in the bowl, they win!

The summer words that are included in the game are: heat, pool, beach, summer, swimmers, sunshine, holidays, barbeque, ice cream, waterpark.

Don’t worry — we didn’t forget about those chilly winter months! We also created a fun disappearing snowman version that brings the same engaging gameplay with a seasonal twist. It’s perfect for keeping students entertained all winter long!

Download and Play Editable Interactive Hangman

Yes, that’s right! You can add your own words to the game! Simply choose the editable version using the drop-down menu. This file allows you to drag letter tiles onto the slide to spell your own words. It’s perfect for practising weekly spelling words or learning new vocabulary.

Download it now before the ice cream sundae melts away!

    Hi Can this be used as a Google Slide?

      Hi, Simone, thanks for your question. The Disappearing Ice Cream Sundae can't be used in Google Slides unfortunately. It uses animations and action buttons that Google Slides doesn't support. Hope you have a fantastic day.
