This is really a question, I have these activities on my home computer & end up using a LOT of ink printing the pictures (Copying Antique Guessing game now) How do I Golden Carers on the TV's at work? So much better when presenting these wonderful activities AND cheaper for me!
Thank you
Hi Cynthia, yes! Presenting activities on a big TV screen is a wonderful option and makes it much easier for everyone to join in.
Simply open the activity on your computer and click the Play button to launch it as a full-screen slideshow. Then connect your computer to the TV using an HDMI cable, or by casting/screen mirroring, just as you would when showing a video.
We also have a handy step-by-step guide in our Help Center. Just search for “Slideshow” and it will walk you through the process.
It may take a little setting up the first time, but once you’ve done it, it’s nice and easy!
I'm pretty sure that number 20 is a Bag Hook. It is used to hook and shift bags of grain or bales of wool.
