PowerPoint Quiz Templates - 10 free Quiz Designs

08.20.20   •  #powerpoint #interaction #game.

If you want to boost your audience engagement, lighten the mood, or test how attentive your listeners are, quizzes are a great way to do so! Making a quick question layout is very easy (as you'll see in this blogpost), however it can be tedious to get the design to look good. So if you a) don't have time b) don't feel like doing a template yourself or c) just want to impress the audience with some nice looking quiz designs that you might not have thought of creating yourself, we got you covered.

We created 10 exclusive designs that you can download and use - 100% free - both for commercial use e.g. your next presentation and for private use (how about a trivia night?!) Just look through our list and get the one you like most - we got something for every taste! And by the way, if you need inspiration for quiz question ideas, be sure to check out our article on 50 Quiz Ideas for your Presentation !

• Galaxy Quiz
• Basic Black and White Quiz
• Kahoot Quiz
• Summer Beach Style Quiz
• Keyboard Style Yes-No-Quiz
• Personality Quiz
• Picture Quiz
• Minimalist Quiz
• Vocabulary Quiz
• Who wants to be a Millionaire Quiz

#1 - Galaxy Quiz

Have you ever had a question that only the stars could possibly answer? Now you can ask it with our beautiful galaxy / universe quiz design. This quiz template is the perfect way to go for all the people who adore some extravagant designs - you'll definitely wow your audience! The only downside is that your quiz participants might be so mesmerized by the galactic infinity that they may actually forget to vote for the right answer.

#2 - Basic True and False Quiz (Black & White Style)

This template is pretty plain and basic, yet far from boring! The contrast between black and white and the diagonal text elements make it the perfect elegant choice for anyone who's looking for an interesting and timeless classic design. It even comes in three different options. You can either decide for one or use all three in one quiz-session. We got you covered with one simple white, one black, and one half black- half white design for anybody who can't decide which one they like better. You can use this template for all kinds of questions that have two possible answers (so it is perfect for Yes/No or True/False quizzes!)

#3 - Kahoot PowerPoint Template

Unfortunately, there is no way to conduct a Kahoot quiz via PowerPoint. Until now! We built this wonderful template that looks exactly like the design of our favorite online- quiz- game. But now you can easily play it in your presentation without having to open the browser. And don't worry, participating via smartphone is still absolutely possible and easier than ever by using the SlideLizard Quiz Creator Plugin . Similar to Kahoot it lets you conduct fun audience quizzes, but embedded directly within your PowerPoint presentation!

#4 - Summer Beach Style Quiz

Get some instant holiday vibes without leaving the country, or even the house! Inspired by our tropical island PowerPoint template (which you can get right here !), we designed a wonderful new quiz template that will give you and your audience the feeling of being on vacation while you're actually in a meeting, lecture, or elsewhere. So it is basically everything you could ever want in a quiz. There are even two background styles that you can choose between!

#5 - Keyboard Style Yes/No Quiz

Without a doubt, our keyboard style Yes/No Quiz is one of the most creative ones! It is really fun and an amazing option for anyone who's looking to switch things up a little. The best thing? It comes with an esc- option! So if your quiz participants really, really don't know the answer, they can just - well - escape instead! The slides with the Escape- options are optional however, so if you'd rather want your audience to vote either Yes or No, you can leave out the esc- key. It doesn't matter, weather you're only asking if the audience needs a bathroom break or hard- to- answer trivia questions, with this template you're always in style!

#6 - Personality Quiz

Until now you probably thought more about doing trivia questions in your presentations, but did you know that personality quiz questions can also be an amazing engagement- enhancing element during any presentation? They are especially great as ice breaker questions , but could also be used as mood- lightener at any point. And the best thing: If you get SlideLizard, you can even see the audience results, so you have a statistic overview of e.g. people's favorite ice cream flavors (or whatever else you've always wanted to ask!) P.S: You could also use all the other templates in this post as personality quizzes, but this one is specifically designed as such.

#7 - Picture Quiz

If pictures speak to you more than words do, our picture quiz template might be the one for you! It comes with a fun, modern and playful design, and the pictures can of course be changed to whatever you want them to be (you can also add or remove new images, so there is a selection of 2, 3 or 6 pictures). The picture quiz can be used for testing vocabulary (although #9 covers that already), or to spice up your trivia questions. You could even use it as a fun way to introduce yourself to the audience (e.g. "Which of these baby photos is me?") in order to break the ice. Tip: If you want to know more about ice breaker questions, check out our blog post here .

#8 - Minimalist Quiz

Minimalism is extremely popular right now, and we totally get why! This is the simplest out of all the templates, but isn't it beautiful? With this quiz template, you get slides for Multiple Choice AND True/False questions! We are in love with this template in all its simplicity, but if you want, you could definitely use this as a blank canvas and upgrade it by adding pictures, backgrounds, new fonts or your favourite colors. The sky is the limit!

#9 - Vocabulary Quiz

This one is different from all the other quizzes, since it is neither multiple nor single choice, but instead somewhat of a memory game. We recommend this animated PowerPoint quiz template for testing new vocabulary or difficult terminology, but you could also adapt it and make it a regular open question format by writing questions instead of words on the cards and the right answers on the green cards below (it sounds more difficult than it actually is, and when you download the template, you'll get a detailed guide on how to use it.) In this format, there are some boxes with words in English (which you can exchange with your own words, obviously). By clicking on those boxes in presentation mode, they disappear and leave a green answer card. You can easily play this with your audience/students by letting them shout out the translation of a certain word and then clicking on the matching box to see if the translation is correct.

#10 - Exclusive Who Wants to be a Millionaire Quiz Template

Last but certainly not least, is our "Who wants to be a Millionaire" Template, which we created exclusively for you to feel like a real game show contestant! The whole template is pretty extensive, which is why we put it in a blog article on its own. Be sure to check it out right here in order to learn how to get the best experience possible out of the game - you'll also find the Download link there. The template comes with everything you could wish for - sound effects, a design that is stunningly similar to the real one, and even the possibility to participate via smartphone! The video below gives you a short demonstration of how the game looks.

Let your audience participate with their smartphone

Once you have chosen a quiz, you have to ask yourself: How do I conduct it during my presentation? Of course, you could just let your audience raise their hands for the answers of their choice - but that seems outdated and overly complicated (counting the amount of votes for each answers,...). The way more convenient option is to use an application like SlideLizard, which allows your audience to vote for the answer of their choice via their mobile devices, making the experience a whole lot better - quiz competitions have never been better!

The process is easy:

• Get SlideLizard for free by clicking here .
• Connect your presentation with SlideLizard. If you need more details on how to do that, please watch this short video tutorial .
• The Slides are already programmed to fill in your questions and Answers into the slots. We recommend to start by creating all the quiz questions you want to ask your audience.
• Then, duplicate the question slide as often as you need (= same number of questions you created). It is also a good idea to insert an answer slide after every question.
• You only need to assign the questions to the slides , and you're good to go!

Watch our video to get detailed instructions on how to connect your quiz with SlideLizard:

Adapt the templates

If you'd like to use one of our templates, but feel like making some adjustments, you can easily do that yourself. All of the given templates can be modified, you can make a two- answer quiz in a multiple choice one and vice versa, you can change colors, fonts and shapes to fit your personal taste or company branding. In the following quick guide, you will be shown how certain elements can be transformed. We're using our galaxy template as an example, but all the templates are transformable in the same or very similar ways.

So here's our downloaded template:

Now, let's start by changing the background first. Click anywhere on a slide and select "Format Background"...

Then go to "Picture or texture fill" (or Solid Fill if you want the background to be a plain color).

After clicking "Insert" your file explorer will open. Select the picture of your choice and click "Insert" once again. Your backround is now changed.

The existing boxes should be rectangular, don't you think? Let's do that by deleting the existing boxes and exchanging them with new ones. To do so, click on a box, then right click > "Cut" (or hit the backspace key). Then go to the insert tab and click "Shapes", where you can choose the shape of your choice and draw it on the slide. Place it where you want.

If the object you just drew hides the text, just go to the "Shape Format" Tab and then click "Send backward" until the text shows again.

And while we're at it, maybe just remove two answer options and make it a True/False quiz? If you want to, you can also change the font, and we're good to go! You just modified our quiz and made a whole new one that has your own personal handwriting!

How to Make an Interactive Quiz in PowerPoint in Less Than 1 Minute (50 Use Cases)

Sara Wanasek

Want to engage your audience, get them involved, and check their understanding without learning and juggling another tool? Well let’s make an interactive quiz in PowerPoint that’s as easy as adding a button, customizable, and to native PowerPoint.

While PowerPoint offers the most compared other tools, one thing it is said to lack is audience interactivity. Delivering new material and keeping students or whomever your audience is engaged, is often a balance that’s hard to strike, but with the help of ClassPoint, you can make interactive PowerPoint presentations and  add audience response questions right to your PowerPoint slides  in no time!

How to Turn Any PowerPoint Slide Into An Interactive Quiz

So how can you turn your PowerPoint slide into an interactive quiz question? With 3 simple steps , using the Microsoft PowerPoint add-in ClassPoint .

ClassPoint is free and the Basic plan includes 5 different kinds of interactive quiz types — Multiple Choice , Short Answer , Word Cloud , Slide Drawing and Image Upload , while the Pro plan includes more quiz types including Fill in the Blanks , Audio Record and Video Upload . We will show you all of them in this article, including use cases for each quiz type!

Turn Your PowerPoint Slide Into An Interactive Multiple Choice Question

To follow along, first download ClassPoint , and continue reading! 🔽 Let’s get started!

1: Add Button to Turn your Slide into an Interactive Quiz Question

To turn any PowerPoint slide into interactive Multiple Choice questions first add the question as text on your slide .

Then, click on the Inknoe ClassPoint tab on your PowerPoint ribbon up top. To make your Multiple Choice question interactive, click on the Multiple Choice icon, and a button will appear on your slide.

The question settings will open on the right where you can set the number of options along with the  correct answer(s) . You can also set the Play Options of your choice, and that’s it! You have now successfully turned your slide into an interactive quiz question.

2: Run the Interactive Quiz in PowerPoint Slideshow

Now that you have created your interactive Multiple Choice quiz in PowerPoint, let’s run it with your students!

When you begin your presentation in Slideshow mode, you will notice a  class code  appears on the top right-hand corner. This is the code your audience will use to join your class. You can use a random class code generated for each session, or you can create your own saved class with its unique class code .

Students can join your class on any device at www.classpoint.app by typing in the class code and their name, or scan the QR code provided on screen. Once they have joined your class, they will see your slides on their devices, and are ready to answer any interactive quiz questions!

When you are ready to run your question, click on the question button to begin receiving responses from your students. Students will be prompted to submit their responses. You will be able to see the real-time responses on your screen. Tips: If you want to keep the responses hidden until everyone has submitted, hide them with the eye icon, or minimize the window. (Auto-minimizing is a Play option too!)

When all of your students have answered your question, you can “ Close Submissions “, and view the colorful bar graph displaying your audience responses! Click the toggle to reveal the correct answer , and click on any of the answer choices to show which students submitted it. You can also award stars to your students who answered the questions correctly!

Tip: Create a saved class so your students can join with the same name and class code every time. This not only smooths out the joining process, but it also enables stars awarded to students to accumulate over time, which you can reveal on the leaderboard , or keep track of for yourself inside your Class List in edit mode.

3: Review Activity Submissions After Class

Once you close the submissions in the activity window, the results are automatically saved inside the question button!

You will notice your question button has now turned green , indicating that there are responses stored inside. You can click on the button to review the results again by clicking on “ View Responses ” on the side panel.

If you’d like to clear the responses, click “ Delete Responses “, and the question button will turn back to blue, and you can now run the Multiple Choice question again.

To add more variety to the way your receive text-based responses for your interactive quizzes, you can select Short Answer , Fill-in the Blanks and Word Cloud question types from the Inknoe ClassPoint tab on your PowerPoint ribbon, and repeat Step #2 and #3 on the list above to start running these quiz types on your PowerPoint slideshow.

Tips & best practices for your powerpoint quiz.

Adding an interactive quiz game to your presentation is a great way to boost audience engagement. Use it to offer a more effective presentation, and motivate your audience to focus and participate.

Know Your Audience

It’s important to think about your audience when planning your online quizzes. Select a topic that will interest them, challenge their thinking, and make them curious about the result.

Keep It Short & Simple

Unless you’re basing your whole lecture or lesson on your online quiz, you probably don’t want it to interrupt the flow of your presentation. So:

• Make your questions clear and simple.
• Use fewer answer options. One correct answer and 1-2 incorrect answers are enough. For example, you could use true or false questions for a fun, exciting, and quick experience.
• Keep your quiz game down to five multiple-choice questions so that people can get back to your talk fast while maintaining the excitement your interactive content has created.

Make Your PowerPoint Quiz Visual

Engaging content gets more and better responses. And what better way to get people engaged than Images and videos? Add fun images to your title, questions, and answer options. Take a moment to choose a color theme that highlights your images.

Choose The Right Template

Before starting from scratch, consider working with a quiz template that fits your goal, theme, and question types. With a template, you can get from 0 to 100 faster without jeopardizing quality. It’s a great baseline that allows you to customize any question slide, answer option, and image.

Invest in Your PowerPoint Quiz Cover & Share it Proudly

The cover is the first thing that your audience will see, so it’s important to make sure it is impactful. Choose a visual that grabs attention, something that would make you stop scrolling and start clicking. It could be a fun video or a brightly colored image accompanied by a curiosity-raising title and an enticing call to action.

Use Friendly and Encouraging Language

The language you use in your quizzes is as important as the visuals. What kind of tone do you want to achieve? It’s not only about what quiz questions you ask, but also how you ask them. A friendly quiz that uses simple language, and humor will get your audience more engaged.

Share the Results with Your Audience

While people answer your questions you can look at the results dashboard and keep track of submissions, responses, correct answers, etc. Use the incoming data to encourage and motivate participants. You can also share the result board on the big screen as the final step. That way people can see how they did in comparison to other scores. The right and wrong answer breakdown charts can also serve as conversation starters that leverage the engagement you’ve already acquired.

Try this trivia competition

What you can do with a powerpoint quiz.

Now that we’ve covered the how, let’s take a look at the what. Here are some use cases to get you started.

Engage Your Students From the Get-Go

Start your educational presentation with a fun  true or false quiz  to break the ice. It will draw your students in and get them engaged in a joint activity. Once you’ve gotten them involved, they’re more likely to remain alert and active throughout the lecture.

Gauge the Level of Knowledge in Your Classroom

Use a few closed-ended questions to get an immediate idea of your students’ knowledge gaps. You could use trivia to present a new topic and refine your talk to fit your audience’s level or share an interactive test at the end of the class to show you, and them, how much they’ve learned.

Spark a Vibrant Conversation About Anything

Quizzes are a simple way of introducing complex ideas and issues for further discussion. They can be great conversation starters whether you want your students to discuss the experience, their answer choices, or the topics it introduced.

Keep Your Listeners Active & Involved

Not everyone feels comfortable speaking up in class. Short quizzes give everyone a chance to participate actively and feel part of the class experience. They’re also an effective learning tool for students who find it easier to concentrate on activities than on lectures.

Use a PPT Quiz to Inspire Independent Learning

While you may think of quizzes as a type of test they can also be very helpful as an interactive tool that enables students to learn and improve at their own pace. Include answer explanations, short teaching videos, infographics, and links to additional learning materials. In this way, you can turn any quiz into a full lesson that each student can take in their own stride.

Get People to Think Together

While your presentation trivia or test could be a contest between individuals, you could also use it to get people working together. For example, you could separate the class into teams or breakout rooms, if you’re online, and have them compete against each other. Or you could make it an activity that the whole audience does together. In this case, your quiz to even be your entire presentation, where each question serves as a slide and evokes conversation.

Encourage Introspection With a Personality Quiz

We’ve talked a lot about trivia and knowledge tests because they are most popular in a presentation or lecture setting. But personality quizzes can also come in handy, especially if you want to take your audience to a place of introspection. While they are not competitive, they offer a different kind of excitement as they offer an opportunity for self-discovery.

Try this personality quiz

End the lesson on a high note.

The end of your presentation is just as important as the beginning. It has a significant impact on how people remember your talk. Use an interactive quiz to end your lesson in a memorable way, showing participants what topics you’ve covered and how much they’ve learned.

Gather Feedback Differently With a PowerPoint Quiz

Getting feedback on your presentation is always important and often challenging. People are busy, they tend to forget and move on to other things. After all, your talk was only one small part of their day. One option is to send them an online feedback survey. But you could also use a  research quiz  that’s fun for them and insightful for you.

There are many more  types of quizzes  you can use for your presentation. You could also make a  PowerPoint survey  or  PowerPoint form .

How to Make a Quiz for Your Online Classes Using PowerPoint

Sometimes it is not easy to get your students involved when giving a presentation. One of the best ways to capture their attention is creating interactive quizzes and questions, so they will interact with the slides. This way, the learning process will turn into something fun and amazing for children.  If you want to learn how to make some interactive quizzes for your pupils using PowerPoint presentations , read this tutorial. It’s an easy task, and it will only take you a few minutes! 

Creating the Main Page of the Quiz

Creating the “right answer” slide, creating the “wrong answer” slide, linking slides.

• Open your PowerPoint presentation.
• You can create or select the slide to which you want to add the interactive quiz.
• Now type the title and the subtitle of your question using text boxes.
• You may want to add some images or illustrations to the slide. As you are working with children, you could add some adorable images of animals, for example. If you have issues with how to add, crop or mask images , you can read this tutorial. For our example, we have included three different illustrations that represent the answer options.
• The next step is adding button-like shapes to your different answers. At a later stage, you’ll need to link those buttons to other slides.
• We decided to use circles here. In Insert, select Shapes → Basic Shapes → Oval.
• Click and drag the cursor to add the shape. Remember to press Shift while dragging to create a perfect circular shape.
• To make the look of the shape coherent with the rest of the slides, it is a good idea to use the colors of the theme. To change the color inside the shape, click on Shape Fill and select one.
• Likewise, if you want another border color, click on Shape Outline and find a new one.
• To give the circles the aspects of buttons, you can add some effects to the shape (e.g. shadow, reflection, glow, soft edges...). Select Shape Effects and explore all the possibilities.
• You’ll need to add some more buttons, as the quiz has more than one option. To do so, click on the shape. Hold Ctrl and Shift and drag the new circle. These two buttons will keep the circles aligned. Pay attention to the guiding lines. Thanks to them you can make sure that everything is in place.
• Now we need to add a letter per button, to name them and to make clear that there are three options. Simply click on each shape and write!
• If you don’t like the font, the size or color, you can change them using the Font options.

To surprise your audience, it is necessary to add two new slides. We are going to call the first one the “right answer” slide. This is the one telling that you have given the correct response. The second one is called the “wrong answer” slide, and means that the student has failed answering correctly. Let’s focus on the first one. 

• When you are in the question slide, select Insert. Click on the New Slide down arrow and the program will display a drop-down menu that shows the different sort of designs of the template. Choose one.
• When designing and formatting the slide, remember to use the fonts and colors of the theme.
• Giving encouraging messages here is key. Add a check mark symbol and a text reading “Well done!”, “Yes!”, “Correct” or “You’ve made it.”

Now it is time to add the “wrong answer” slide. You’ll need to repeat a process that is very similar to the previous one. 

• Once again, add a new slide: Insert → New slide → drop-down menu. Choose your preferred layout and format as needed.
• Here we will add a symbol like “X” to let children know that the answer is incorrect. Add a message that supports the symbol, such as: “Try again”, “Oops!”.
• As the student answered incorrectly, we need to make sure that he or she goes to the question once again and gives a correct response. Thus, create a button to redirect the child to the “question slide.” You can try adding a message such as “Try again.”
• Simply add a shape (as in the section above) and format as needed.

Adding links and hyperlinks can be a little bit confusing, although you can learn about it thanks to our tutorial How to Insert a Hyperlink in PowerPoint . For this section, you’ll need to link the “question” slide to the “correct answer” and “wrong answer” slides. Don’t worry, you’ll see how to do it step by step. 

• It’s time to add a link to each button in the question slide.
• Here, the two first options are wrong, so they must lead you to the “wrong answer” slide.
• Click a couple of times and select the text of the first button.
• Click Insert. Then go to the Link menu and click on Link. A popup will appear.
• You can add a link from different sources: an existing page, the presentation you are creating, a new document or an e-mail address.
• Double click on Place in This Document.
• Select the “wrong answer” slide and click OK. You’ll see the slide preview so you don’t get confused.
• As option B is incorrect, you’ll need to repeat the same steps for that option.
• Option C is the target answer. Thus, it’s time to link it to the “correct answer” slide.
• Once again, select the text in the C option button.
• Click Insert. Then go to the Link menu and click on Link. A popup window appears.
• Select Place in This Document.
• Choose the “correct answer slide” and then click OK.
• You have linked the three options with the “wrong” or “correct answer” slide, congratulations! You are almost there. The last thing to do is to create a link to direct the student from the “wrong answer” to the “question” slide once again.
• Go to the “wrong answer” slide and spot the “Try again” button.
• Select it, click Insert → Link → Insert link →. Place in This Document.
• Choose the “question” slide.
• Your quiz rocks!

In this article, we’ll share some tips to help you turn a regular classroom into a positive space.

How to Create a Quiz in PowerPoint

Table of Contents

Step 2. Create the question and the incorrect and correct answers

To make a question slide, move on to the next slide and type the question in the text box. Instead of questions, you can also use incomplete sentences, phrases, or mathematical equations. Add a picture that will illustrate your ideas well and serve visual communication.

Add reply options to your question: the correct answer and the incorrect ones. Go to the Insert tab and click the Text Box button. Type in the first option, then continue to add the rest of them in a presentation.

Multiple-choice questions typically contain one correct answer (also called the key) and three wrong answers (called distractors). However, you are free to add as many options as you like.

Compose the next question-and-answer slides in the same way.

Step 3. Create the correct answer slide

Add an additional correct answer slide after your first question slide saying that the learner has chosen the right answer. In the new slide, enter a congratulatory message, such as “ Correct answer! ,” “ Right answer! ,” “ That’s right! ,” “ Correct! ,” or “ Well done! ”, “Correct answer, Congratulations!” In the Content box, add a phrase that will encourage students to continue, like “ Go to the next question! ,” “ Continue! ,” or “ Let’s move on! ”. 

Great! Your correct answer slide is ready.

Step 4. Create the wrong answer slide

Add the next slide, wrong answer slide, which will be displayed when test takers make an incorrect choice. Add another PowerPoint slide and type in the relevant text in the Title Box , like Oops, that’s incorrect… But this time give your learners a chance to go back to the quiz question slide and try again. So, this is what our wrong answer slide will look like:

To make knowledge checks even more effective for learners, provide feedback on each wrong answer slide. Helpful information presented in your feedback message can explain certain questions and correct or wrong answers in more detail. 

Awesome! The incorrect answer slides are done.

Continue adding the incorrect and correct answer slides after each question slide.

You can also create the next slide, the last one, which states that the quiz has been completed.

Step 5. Add navigation to your PowerPoint quiz

Now it’s time to link the incorrect and correct answer slides to the relevant feedback slide. To do this, click on the Answer Text Box , then go to the Insert tab and tap on Hyperlink . In the open window, choose Place in This Document and select the necessary “ That’s correct ” or “ That’s incorrect ” PowerPoint slide.

To allow continued navigation from a feedback slide, add a hyperlink to the “Continue” text. Once again, you’ll need to repeat the actions for every single slide, because a feedback slide should lead to a new quiz question slide every time.

To let your audience return to the question slide, open the slide for wrong answers and click on the “Try again” text. Add hyperlinks to the question where the learner made a mistake. This time, go to the Insert tab and click Actions . In the opened drop-down menu, select Hyperlink to → Last Slide Viewed . You can see the final result in the slide show mode.

Our short quiz is ready now.

The Limitations of PowerPoint for Creating Quizzes

As you can see, Microsoft PowerPoint doesn’t provide purpose-built features for quizzes — it can take a while to create slides with quiz questions, a feedback slide for every single answer, and link slides to each other manually. Here are some more things that are missing from PowerPoint:

• It falls short when it comes to creating complex types of interactive quiz questions like drag-and-drop, matching, multiple responses, surveys, and hotspot. 
• It lacks the functionality to track learner progress, such as their completion status or the number of points they’ve scored.
• Monitoring who takes your  PowerPoint quiz, their success rate, and analyzing their learning progress isn’t feasible.
• Distributing a PowerPoint quiz also has limitations; You can’t share it on your website, a social media blog, or through email, particularly to individuals who don’t have access to PowerPoint.

Therefore, when you need to build a reliable and interactive quiz that keeps the audience engaged, it’s better to use special eLearning authoring tools . Below, we’ll explain and show you how much easier and faster it is to create quizzes with iSpring QuizMaker.

Method 2. How to Create an Interactive Quiz Fast with PowerPoint and iSpring QuizMaker

iSpring QuizMaker is a simple authoring tool designed to help you create different types of quizzes and knowledge checks, share them online, and track learner progress. We decided to improve our Mt. Everest Quiz using this tool and this is the result:

With iSpring QuizMaker, creating a quiz is a piece of cake. The tool provides you with 14 question templates — you only need to choose the type of slide layout you want for the quiz question (for example: multiple-choice, matching, or hotspot). We’ve broken down most of these in previous articles. Check them out:

• How to Create a Multiple-Choice Quiz
• How to Create a True or False Quiz
• How to Make a Matching Quiz in Minutes
• How to Create a Hotspot Question for an Online Quiz
• How to Make a Drag-and-Drop Quiz in 7 Steps
• How to Create a Likert Scale Survey
• How to Create a Fill-in-the-Blank Quiz that Works
• How to Create a Drop-Down Quiz in 7 Steps

Such a comprehensive variety helps gamify the learning process, engage learners and enhance their experience.

In many situations, knowledge cannot be tested with basic multiple-choice quizzes alone. For example, tests on historical topics require an understanding of how events evolved over time. That’s why we included a sequence question in our revamped quiz.

Sometimes more than one key answer should be chosen. These multiple response questions cannot be created with a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation alone. But we didn’t discard the idea, and used iSpring QuizMaker for this purpose.

How to Create a Quiz with a Score in PowerPoint

There are no tests without assessment; that’s why it’s essential that your quizzes evaluate students’ results. As we’ve already mentioned, PPT doesn’t have such features. That’s why we only added a neutral last slide that did not indicate whether the assessment had been passed or failed.

On the contrary, the enhanced Mt. Everest Quiz grades learners’ results and shows their score, both during the assessment and at the end.

To make your questions gradable, all you need to do is to choose the By passing score under Scoring Type in the Properties dialogue box of iSpring QuizMaker and set the passing score you need. By default, the passing score is 80%.

In iSpring QuizMaker, passing result slides are created by default, so there’s no need to add them manually. You can change the slide message according to your personal taste or needs, and add a graphic image or photo, audio or video.

Once you finish, you can choose publishing options. For example, you can publish your interactive PowerPoint quiz to HTML5. This format will ensure that your learners have the best browsing experience, no matter what device they use.

To collect PowerPoint quiz results, you don’t even need an LMS that automatically tracks learner progress. If you don’t use a learning platform, simply choose whether to get results via email or have them sent to your server in the iSpring QuizMaker Properties window.

How to Make Quizzes Cheat Proof

As a knowledge check, your quiz should be not only engaging but also cheat-proof, so you can get reliable results on how learners progress through the learning material. With iSpring QuizMaker, you can set specific rules that prevent learners from cheating.

For example, you can set the options like assigning scores and penalties for individual questions or shuffling answer options to keep students on their toes. Or shuffle right and wrong answers. You can also set the number of attempts allowed and limit the time to take the test in order to prevent learners from searching for the answer options online.

As for the visuals of your quiz, iSpring QuizMaker provides you with extended editing options, so you can get creative and change the design of all the slides or experiment with typing fonts.

How to Create a Quiz Game in PowerPoint

Games have gone far beyond being just kid stuff. Course developers use them to get learners excited about a topic, to reinforce what’s being taught, or just allow learners to take a break and have a little fun. 

Games connect emotionally and make the material stick. In most cases, they are the same PowerPoint quizzes but presented in a more interactive format. Let’s look at some games you can create with PowerPoint.

The Jeopardy quiz game is a popular American TV show that turned into a widely loved educational interactivity. This is basically a board of categories, each with a series of clues of increasing difficulty and point values. Players select a clue from the board, and after the answer is revealed, they respond in the form of a question.

The Jeopardy quiz game encourages broad knowledge across various areas, from history and literature to science and pop culture. The good thing is you don’t need any special software to create such a quiz game on your own; usually, PowerPoint is sufficient. 

To build a Jeopardy game and amaze your learners, check out our step-by-step tutorial . Or watch a 4-minute how-to video to save time. As a bonus, you can download a free Jeopardy game template and customize it right away: add your questions and answers, and modify the game’s design.

Download the Jeopardy game template →

Memory game

The memory game, when designed as flashcards, isn’t actually a quiz game, but can still be created in PowerPoint with ease. 

Flashcards are fantastic for building associations. Each card has two sides: one side with an image (like a picture of a bird, a fruit, a place, or anything really) and the other side with the corresponding name or concept. For example, when you flip a card showing the image of a bird, the other side reveals its name. This visual association strengthens memory recall and aids the learning process in a more engaging and interactive way.

Such activities can be used beyond learning new vocabulary, incorporating concepts, historical figures, mathematical symbols, or scientific elements, which makes them virtually versatile.

In our previous article, we shared a step-by-step guide on how to create flashcards in PowerPoint . So, if you find them as amazing as we do, check it out.

“Who wants to be a millionaire?”

“Who wants to be a millionaire?” is a famous TV quiz game that we bet you’ve seen thousands of times. Players tackle a series of increasingly difficult questions in order to win money. In fact, this game consists of simple multiple-choice questions that we’ve already discussed in this article, so it won’t be difficult for you to create such a fascinating game on your own.

You can use the first method and create this quiz game through hyperlinks in PowerPoint that will take the player to the particular slide, depending on whether the correct or incorrect answer is chosen. All you need to do is:

• Create a series of slides, each with a multiple-choice question and four possible correct and wrong answers.
• Implement lifelines — add hyperlinks (select Hyperlink to ) or add animations (triggers). For example, a “50:50” lifeline could hide two incorrect answers when activated.
• Design a slide with immediate feedback on incorrect and correct answers and track the player’s progress toward the grand prize visually. Optional: you can also add sound effects for a correct or an wrong answer to make your game more immersive.

The next two slides will take longer to create. Thus, it’s much more efficient to use iSpring QuizMaker to create such a quiz game. In this case, you’ll be able to create the correct navigation in your quiz in a few minutes, set the time limit for each answer option, and provide automatic feedback for each correct or wrong answer.

We’ve created a sample “ Who Wants to Be a Training Expert? ” quiz game to illustrate what this might look like:

Moreover, you can download a game source file and customize it with a free trial of iSpring QuizMaker by adding your question-and-answer options and applying sound effects to amaze your learners.

Everest Quiz source file to repeat the same steps mentioned earlier and practice creating quizzes in PowerPoint.

How-To Geek

6 ways to create more interactive powerpoint presentations.

Engage your audience with cool, actionable features.

Quick Links

• Add a QR code
• Embed Microsoft Forms (Education or Business Only)
• Embed a Live Web Page
• Add Links and Menus
• Add Clickable Images to Give More Info
• Add a Countdown Timer

We've all been to a presentation where the speaker bores you to death with a mundane PowerPoint presentation. Actually, the speaker could have kept you much more engaged by adding some interactive features to their slideshow. Let's look into some of these options.

1. Add a QR code

Adding a QR code can be particularly useful if you want to direct your audience to an online form, website, or video.

Some websites have in-built ways to create a QR code. For example, on Microsoft Forms , when you click "Collect Responses," you'll see the QR code option via the icon highlighted in the screenshot below. You can either right-click the QR code to copy and paste it into your presentation, or click "Download" to add it to your device gallery to insert the QR code as a picture.

In fact, you can easily add a QR code to take your viewer to any website. On Microsoft Edge, right-click anywhere on a web page where there isn't already a link, and left-click "Create QR Code For This Page."

You can also create QR codes in other browsers, such as Chrome.

You can then copy or download the QR code to use wherever you like in your presentation.

2. Embed Microsoft Forms (Education or Business Only)

If you plan to send your PPT presentation to others—for example, if you're a trainer sending step-by-step instruction presentation, a teacher sending an independent learning task to your students, or a campaigner for your local councilor sending a persuasive PPT to constituents—you might want to embed a quiz, questionnaire, pole, or feedback survey in your presentation.

In PowerPoint, open the "Insert" tab on the ribbon, and in the Forms group, click "Forms". If you cannot see this option, you can add new buttons to the ribbon .

As at April 2024, this feature is only available for those using their work or school account. We're using a Microsoft 365 Personal account in the screenshot below, which is why the Forms icon is grayed out.

Then, a sidebar will appear on the right-hand side of your screen, where you can either choose a form you have already created or opt to craft a new form.

Now, you can share your PPT presentation with others , who can click the fields and submit their responses when they view the presentation.

3. Embed a Live Web Page

You could always screenshot a web page and paste that into your PPT, but that's not a very interactive addition to your presentation. Instead, you can embed a live web page into your PPT so that people with access to your presentation can interact actively with its contents.

To do this, we will need to add an add-in to our PPT account .

Add-ins are not always reliable or secure. Before installing an add-in to your Microsoft account, check that the author is a reputable company, and type the add-in's name into a search engine to read reviews and other users' experiences.

To embed a web page, add the Web Viewer add-in ( this is an add-in created by Microsoft ).

Go to the relevant slide and open the Web Viewer add-in. Then, copy and paste the secure URL into the field box, and remove https:// from the start of the address. In our example, we will add a selector wheel to our slide. Click "Preview" to see a sample of the web page's appearance in your presentation.

This is how ours will look.

When you or someone with access to your presentation views the slideshow, this web page will be live and interactive.

4. Add Links and Menus

As well as moving from one slide to the next through a keyboard action or mouse click, you can create links within your presentation to direct the audience to specific locations.

To create a link, right-click the outline of the clickable object, and click "Link."

In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, click "Place In This Document," choose the landing destination, and click "OK."

What's more, to make it clear that an object is clickable, you can use action buttons. Open the "Insert" tab on the ribbon, click "Shape," and then choose an appropriate action button. Usefully, PPT will automatically prompt you to add a link to these shapes.

You might also want a menu that displays on every slide. Once you have created the menu, add the links using the method outlined above. Then, select all the items, press Ctrl+C (copy), and then use Ctrl+V to paste them in your other slides.

5. Add Clickable Images to Give More Info

Through PowerPoint's animations, you can give your viewer the power to choose what they see and when they see it. This works nicely whether you're planning to send your presentation to others to run through independently or whether you're presenting in front of a group and want your audience to decide which action they want to take.

Start by creating the objects that will be clickable (trigger) and the items that will appear (pop-up).

Then, select all the pop-ups together. When you click "Animations" on the ribbon and choose an appropriate animation for the effect you want to achieve, this will be applied to all objects you have selected.

The next step is to rename the triggers in your presentation. To do this, open the "Home" tab, and in the Editing group, click "Select", and then "Selection Pane."

With the Selection Pane open, select each trigger on your slide individually, and rename them in the Selection Pane, so that they can be easily linked to in the next step.

Finally, go back to the first pop-up. Open the "Animations" tab, and in the Advanced Animation group, click the "Trigger" drop-down arrow. Then, you can set the item to appear when a trigger is clicked in your presentation.

If you want your item to disappear when the trigger is clicked again, select the pop-up, click "Add Animation" in the Advanced Animation group, choose an Exit animation, and follow the same step to link that animation to the trigger button.

6. Add a Countdown Timer

A great way to get your audience to engage with your PPT presentation is to keep them on edge by adding a countdown timer. Whether you're leading a presentation and want to let your audience stop to discuss a topic, or running an online quiz with time-limit questions, having a countdown timer means your audience will keep their eye on your slide throughout.

To do this, you need to animate text boxes or shapes containing your countdown numbers. Choose and format a shape and type the highest number that your countdown clock will need. In our case, we're creating a 10-second timer.

Now, with your shape selected, open the "Animations" tab on the ribbon and click the animation drop-down arrow. Then, in the Exit menu, click "Disappear."

Open the Animation Pane, and click the drop-down arrow next to the animation you've just added. From there, choose "Timing."

Make sure "On Click" is selected in the Start menu, and change the Delay option to "1 second," before clicking "OK."

Then, with this shape still selected, press Ctrl+C (copy), and then Ctrl+V (paste). In the second box, type 9 . With the Animation Pane still open and this second shape selected, click the drop-down arrow and choose "Timing" again. Change the Start option to "After Previous," and make sure the Delay option is 1 second. Then, click "OK."

We can now use this second shape as our template, as when we copy and paste it again, the animations will also duplicate. With this second shape selected, press Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, type 8 into the box, and continue to do the same until you get to 0 .

Next, remove the animations from the "0" box, as you don't want this to disappear. To do this, click the shape, and in the Animation Pane drop-down, click "Remove."

You now need to layer them in order. Right-click the box containing number 1, and click "Bring To Front." You will now see that box on the top. Do the same with the other numbers in ascending order.

Annual skilled trades competition builds technical and professional skills for Iowa students

Southeast Polk senior Simon Frohock (R) competed in the cabinet making contest for a second year.

High-quality career and professional skill development took center stage last week as over 600 high school and college students took part in the annual SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference . Held in Ankeny at the Des Moines Area Community College campus, this two-day competition featured over 50 different leadership and technical competitions for students to test their technical skills and knowledge, explore career pathways and make valuable connections with local industry leaders.

Southeast Polk High School seniors Delvis Kouete and Simon Frohock, both 17, were well-prepared for the competition, which featured timed activities related to industrial technology, carpentry, robotics, automotive repair and job interview techniques, among many others. For this year’s skills competition, Delvis competed in architectural drafting and was a member of the school’s quiz bowl team. Simon, the 2023 state champion in cabinet making, returned for a second year in the cabinet making contest. Both students competed well in their individual competitions, with Delvis placing fifth and Simon serving as this year’s runner-up.

“The skills competition can help you strive for excellence in your work and learning,” Simon said. “Even though it’s a competition and there is pressure to do well, it’s a good, low-risk way to see what an employee in this work has to do every day.”

Both Simon and Delvis noted that the competition not only helps to strengthen a student’s technical skills, but it also engages students in career pathway discovery and professional skill development.

“Being a part of SkillsUSA and competing in the skills competition has helped me learn new skills with my hands and work on teamwork, communication and leadership skills,” Delvis said. “You learn how to work with other people that aren’t like you and get your mind thinking about your future career.”

Along with the individual contests, all competitors at the SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference were required to submit a resume and take a professional development test that focused on workplace, professional and technical skills as well as overall knowledge of SkillsUSA.

“SkillsUSA helps provide real-world context to the content being taught by classroom educators,” said Kent Storm, state director for SkillsUSA Iowa. “Taking the learning beyond the classroom allows students to grow and learn next to industry partners and gain valuable experience."

As one of Iowa’s career and technical student organizations (CTSO) , SkillsUSA champions the skilled trades industry and provides opportunities for students to apply the skills they have developed in classrooms through conferences, competitions, community service events, worksite visits and other activities.

“Participation in a CTSO like SkillsUSA helps students gain hands-on experience and connect classroom curricula to careers,” said Cale Hutchings, education consultant at the Iowa Department of Education. “Through CTSOs, students can become leaders and strengthen their employability skills, which is valuable as they explore potential next steps in their college and career pathways.”

SkillsUSA boasts a roster of over 400,000 members nationwide. In Iowa, over 1,300 students and advisers in career and technical education programs participate in local SkillsUSA chapters.

At Southeast Polk, 21 student members are a part of their SkillsUSA chapter. Led by industrial technology teachers and chapter advisers Ryan Andersen and Brett Rickabaugh, the students have been involved with several community service projects, employer presentations and opportunities to work closely with instructors.

“Any time a student participates in SkillsUSA, it gives us more time with that student to elaborate on what we’ve learned in class,” Andersen said. “They can connect the idea to the planning, design and completion of a project and how that activity fits into a real career. That’s something we can’t replicate without a CTSO.”

Anderson also stated that students who participate in SkillsUSA and activities like the State Leadership and Skills Conference build confidence through their experiences.

“It really helps students to have the confidence to rely on their skills and what they know,” he said. “The skills competition requires them to use problem-solving skills and build off their knowledge to continue to learn and persevere.”

This year’s first-place winners at the SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference will move onward to compete with 6,000 other students at the national conference in Atlanta this June.

For Simon and Delvis, the skills competition was another step in building necessary skills and acumen for their futures. Simon, with his penchant for cabinet making, already has a full-time job lined up after graduation with a local cabinet shop. Additionally, Delvis would like to pursue something within the computer science field, perhaps in the coding or software engineering areas, and although he is changing fields, he believes SkillsUSA has helped him feel more prepared for the future.

“It has definitely helped me with skill-building and problem-solving,” he said. “What I’ve learned will be beneficial no matter what I decide to do next.”
