[Music] Hello everyone, today I will show you how to create speech or thinking bubbles using Google Slides. I like to use Google Slides for this task as many school service centers have Google for Education, which makes it easily accessible to students. Another advantage is that teachers can create a model and send a copy to all students in a single click. Let me show you how I would do it.


So, first of all, I would open one empty Google slide. What I want to do is add a picture of the animal or character that will be thinking. You can do this by clicking on "Insert Image." You can either upload from your computer, search the web, find something that was already in your drive, or take a picture of yourself using the camera. For now, I will look for a picture from the web. I will look to find a dolphin. I'll choose this one right here. Insert.


Now that I have my dolphin here, you see I chose an image that would allow me to have enough space to put either the thinking bubble or the speech bubble. I'll put a background color. There you go. To find my speech bubble, I can either go and insert a shape because I already have bubbles available right here, so you could use one of these. You can change its color just like so. Maybe blue. However, you can also use a website such as Pixabay to find free images.


So, I'll search for "speech bubble." Let me see what I can get. So, we've got different ones. I think I like this one. So, I'll copy and paste it. There you go. So, I've got my speech bubble here. To add text to my speech bubble, I will choose the text box tool right here and click on the image to create the text box. "Hi, my name is Flipper." So, I can change the color of the font, I can change the font itself if I wanted to, and then I can move it and place it in my speech bubble.


So, hopefully, this will be helpful for you and your students to create speech or thinking bubbles.
