The quick way is to add each object you want to reveal, then, in the Animate tab, give each a Build In animation. Next, click Build Order and set each item to Start: On Click so they appear one by one as you present.

If you also want them to disappear before the next item shows, add a Build Out animation and place it after each Build In in the Build Order list.
