Dear All

Does anyone know how to implement a countdown timer in PowerPoint. I
have failed to find anything suitable on searching the group for
around 30 minutes. I am a teacher putting together a series of
multiple choice questions for students. I want to cycle through the
multiple choice questions allowing for 1 minutes each slide.

Detailed scenario is:
1) there would be 1 multiple choice question on each slide presented
on screen at front of class
2) students would be given 1 minute to answer each question from slide
3) small clock in corner of slide would visibly count down from 60
seconds on each slide
4) slide would auto-forward to next slide (and next question) after 60
seconds
5) clock would reset and count down from 60 seconds again.
6) < continue through all slides >

Many thanks for any help you can give

Cheers, Simon

You can download the 60 sec gif by right clicking > save picture as. Place
it on every slide or on the master
