Easy Table Reveal

If you've tried the table trick that I posted about a few days ago, you might be leery of trying another. That one is a little complicated and has quite a few steps. However, this is a super easy trick that will allow students to check their answers on their own.

Create a table and have one column be the "reveal" column where the answer or hidden message is revealed. Highlight the column, click on the properties tab and fill with a color that contrasts with your background color. For instance, if your background is white, make the color a dark color that a white font will show up well on.

Select an object or graphic that will be linked with the correct answer. Type the correct answer or reveal message and place it next to the object/graphic. Change the font color to the color of your background and group the two together. Now when the object is selected and moved into the colored cell, the font will be visible.

A very quick and easy way to create a reveal. Good luck!
