Christmas Cookies Game

This  simple PowerPoint game is great fun, with colourful cookies and surprise bonus points.

Play it quickly as a fun stand-alone game (you can amuse the children at home over the holidays) , or use it  as an effective review game after a Bible lesson.

Here’s how the Cookie Count PowerPoint Game works

  1. Two teams play alternately.
  2. After answering a review question correctly and being awarded points (we suggest 50 for a correct answer) the first team chooses a cookie. It is fun to have them describe the cookie, rather than simply point to it. This encourages the children’s powers of observation and expression.
  3. The PowerPoint operator then clicks once on the selected cookie.
  4. That cookie will slide off the screen and a Bonus Score will then be revealed and should be added to the score so far.
  5. The next team will win their chance to play by answering a review question.
  6. They then choose their cookie and the revealed score is added to their total.
  7. The game continues until all the cookies have gone, or the time allotted has finished.
  8. The winning team is the one with the highest score.
The game partly played with bonus scores showing.

  1. I do not see how the powerpoint works. It is just the instructions and pictures of cookies. Nothing happens as far as clicking for points.

    1. So sorry, Karla, that the PowerPoint isn’t working for you. Although all the download links are checked before we upload them, it is always possible that there are glitches.
      So to see if we can identify the problem we have downloaded the file onto both a PC and iPad – the regular PowerPoint program for the PC and “PowerPoint for iPad” from the app store on the iPad.
      Everything worked well for us so can I ask, are you using a PC or an iPad?

      If you are on an iPad, when you open the presentation, you will see the list of slides on the left, beside the current slide. At the top of the screen, on the right, you will see a triangle, pointing right. If you tap that the presentation will start. Tap the bottom right corner of the full slide to advance to the next slide where the cookies are. Tapping a cookie should reveal the points. In our tests on the iPad this action worked.
      Our results were also fine on the PC, so I’m afraid I can’t thinks of what the problem might be.
      Do please let us know how you get on. Perhaps another of our visitors can shed some light on the problem. It is such a fun and colourful wee game that it would be wonderful if you could get it going. God bless you Karla. And thank you for taking the trouble to be in touch.
