Recall the days of the old school with this blackboard-styled free presentation template. Fonts and icons have a fresh hand-drawn look, and white color makes the content pop against the dark textured background. A great template for talking about education.
This free presentation template features:
- Fully editable. Easy to change colors, text and photos
- 25 different slides
- Design with blackboard texture background and hand-drawn fonts and icons
- Feature-rich theme with examples of styles for graphs, charts and tables
- It includes a customizable icon family with 80 different icons and a world map (you can change sizes and colors). And more free icons & maps for your presentations available.
- Use as a Google Slides theme or download as PowerPoint template and edit on your computer. Also export to PDF, JPG, etc.
- 16:9 screen layout (Can change to 4:3 with a click on Google Slides, but some graphic assets may not work well)

9 May 2016 at 18:21IDK how to copy and paste the emojis
SlidesCarnival says
10 May 2016 at 07:30Hi Vincent, do you mean the emoji icons included with the template? Simply go to the last slide, select the emoji icon and press Ctrl+C, then go to the slide where you want to place it and press Ctrl+V.

20 May 2016 at 09:40How can I create tables like the one in this template?

21 May 2016 at 13:03i hope you can have powerpoint presentation templates for electronics,or related like circuits, microelectronics, nanotechnology, technology, etc
SlidesCarnival says
22 May 2016 at 08:34Hello, I’m afraid I won’t design such an specific template anytime soon. Maybe Valentine template would fit your needs.
Jax says
2 July 2016 at 18:27Hi. I really like how you have the borders surrounding the pictures. If there a way for me to replicate that? Thanks
SlidesCarnival says
3 July 2016 at 10:42Of course Jax, the borders are just “shapes” pasted on top of the photo and resized to fit the image size. You can find the available shapes in the last slide “Extra graphics”

18 July 2016 at 15:35Hi there,
I want to ask. Does the templates only work for Power Point 2016? I have 2007 Power Point. How to download the specific font for this template?
SlidesCarnival says
20 July 2016 at 11:01Hi! Google Slides exports to .pptx, I don’t know if the file is compatible with 2007 Power Point, I guess you should just try and see.
The fonts used in this template, and the link to download them can be found in one of the last templates, the “Presentation design” one. It uses Walter Turncoat and Sniglet free fonts.

24 July 2016 at 19:25Fantastic! I really appreciated the extra chalkboard graphics at the end. Many thanks!

11 November 2016 at 16:17I Love “Ursula”!!!
BUT I found a trouble with using animation that it always has white animation track when playing power point. I TRY using another computer, but still found same problem.
HOW CAN I DO?!
(P.S. My software is 2016PPT)
Jimena says
12 November 2016 at 09:01Sorry Liao, but I have no experience in Powerpoint animation.

Alex says
7 February 2017 at 17:16Hi, this template is great, thanks for all your explanations to download it and use it.
One question, how to use or get real charts (such as the circular ones) with the same sketch format?
I saw one chart image in the design slide but of course it is just an image and we cant change %, values, etc…
Thank you
Jimena Catalina Gayo says
8 February 2017 at 08:32Hi Alex,
You can make your charts in Google Sheets, and then simply copy-paste them to your Google Slides presentation. The graph will be editable and you’ll be able to change the values if you need https://support.google.com/docs/answer/7007196
Tobias says
3 May 2017 at 07:21Google has updated the Sniglet font (or their font system) which messes up this lovely template.
To reproduce:
1. open the template
2. select a box with text in Sniglet
3. click on the Font (drop-down) menu.
The fonts will now update and mess up the template.
Jimena says
3 May 2017 at 07:33Thanks Tobias, there was a problem indeed with the bold weights of the font. I’ve removed them and now everything should work ok
Jackson says
24 May 2017 at 17:08I saw the Slides Carnival icons, but I can’t figure out how to use them… help?
Jimena says
25 May 2017 at 08:31Hi Jackson, all the icons included in the template can be found on slide number 27. From there you can select the one you want to use and then copy-paste it to the slide where you need it. Once there resize or recolor as you want, the same way you would do with a circle shape for example.
PLE says
8 June 2017 at 11:02Thank you for your template. I’ve had a successful presentation! :D
Ashlie Enage says
13 July 2017 at 11:41How about the maps? How can I put another map?
Jimena says
13 July 2017 at 17:18Hello Ashlie, there’s a world map included with the template. If you want to put another simply import an image of the map you want to use.
Lee says
14 August 2017 at 11:10One of the simplest yet the greatest. Lets you focus on the subject. My students love it. Thank you, as always.
Nia Seven says
20 February 2018 at 08:15Hi, I love all your templates, but somehow when I downloaded it as powerpoint template in Window 8.1, it is not compatible… Most of the design become a mess, the font are in different sizes. Can you make the template compatible with other Windows too?
Jimena says
20 February 2018 at 09:33Sorry Nia, my templates are designed/optimized for Google Slides and although from that app they can be downloaded as a Powerpoint file the compatibility it is not 100% reliable. Have you tried downloading and installing the fonts used in Ursula? That should improve the Powerpoint design significantly.

Lesley says
3 December 2018 at 19:10I’ve been trying to use some of these templates but the “Make a copy” button doesn’t do anything. I’ve tried multiple themes and multiple browsers.

Krista Miller says
17 February 2019 at 00:50Using the Ursula Template for an upcoming presentation. How do you remove the white background when adding images to the presentation?
Jimena says
17 February 2019 at 11:50Hello Krista, I’m sorry but could you explain your question in more detail? All backgrounds in Ursula are black and I don’t understand what “white background” you mean.
