Día de Muertos PowerPoint Template

The Día de Muertos PowerPoint Template is set on deep purple night backgrounds with marigold orange, pink and blue accents, decorated sugar skulls with candles on the cover, strings of papel picado, paper lanterns and swirling floral borders. Yeseva One gives the headlines a classic serif feel and Karla keeps the body copy clear on the dark ground. The section and quote slides open up into full illustrations: a marigold path to a lit doorway, a long table set with pan de muerto and candles, and a moonlit village. Entrance animations bring the elements in one by one.

What's Inside

Ten content slides come pre-filled with Day of the Dead content. After the "Remember with Joy" cover there is a contents page, an ofrenda slide on what an altar is for, a story slide on the Indigenous and Catholic roots of the holiday and the November 1 and 2 dates, a "The road home" chapter divider, six things on every altar (cempasúchil, candles, water, pan de muerto, photos, calaveras), three places the celebration happens, a quote slide, four classroom activities (papel picado, calavera art, songs, tasting) and a La Catrina slide on José Guadalupe Posada's print and Diego Rivera's mural. Reference slides for fonts, elements and icons are included, plus blank copies of every layout.

Who Is This Template For?

Made for teachers and students in Spanish, history, art and culture classes, community centres and cultural organisations planning a November event, libraries and museums, and families or groups building a community altar. The activities slide is ready for a lesson plan, and the ofrenda and symbols slides work as a short cultural introduction for any audience. The copy is written to present the holiday respectfully as a celebration of memory rather than a Halloween theme.
