Creating a Simple Puzzle Tournament in Google Slides & Zoom

Adding group games to remote classes brings with it unique challenges. How do you give each participant the ability to contribute, keep the group’s conversations private while still allowing you to monitor everything in real-time? While there a host of platforms and apps that could be pieced together to solve each of those challenges, it’s important to not get overwhelmed and overlook the features available in familiar tools like Google Slides and Zoom.
