What is a PowerPoint Party?
A PowerPoint party is, at its core, a gathering where each attendee creates and delivers a presentation on a topic of their choice. Instead of a dull academic presentation, you can make the humorous topics as funny, playful, or niche as possible by creating your slideshow in Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, AhaSlides, or Keynote.
The key is to be creative with your topics, whether it's an interactive Google Slides on how about your ex-es, a niche about Taylor Swift songs, a funny ranking of who's most likely to win Too Hot To Handle, or a breakdown of your roommates as Disney villains. You can even make it a competition, with scoring sheets and a grand prize at the end.
Are you ready to start playing? Here are some of the best funny PowerPoint topics for your next gathering.
