You can choose how the pages look, what they say, and even add pictures that move.
Get ready to click, type, and shine!
How to Make Your Very Own Slideshow
Google Slides helps you make a slideshow—a bunch of pages (called slides) you can show on a screen.
You can use slides to tell a story, share something you learned, or show off something cool you made.
Let’s get started!
Open Google Slides
Go to and click the big plus sign to make a new slideshow.
Pick a Theme (or Not!)
A theme makes all your slides look the same—like matching outfits! You can pick one, or click the plain white slide to make it your own.
Type Your Words
Click in the big text box and write something. It could be your name, a title, or a fun fact!
Add a New Slide
Want another page? Click the little plus button (it says “New Slide”) to add one.
Add Pictures
Click “Insert” → “Image.” You can look up pictures, draw your own, or find something from your computer.
Make It Yours
Change the color, pick a fun font, or move things around on the slide. This is your show—make it shine!
Watch Your Show
Click “Present” to see your slideshow on the big screen, one slide at a time.
Head to the Got It? section to give it a try!
