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.

Whatever your aim, creating a quiz in PowerPoint is easy with this short tutorial. You'll learn how to create a simple quiz with multiple answer choices. You can create more quizzes using VBA programming within PowerPoint or the Custom Shows feature, but if you want to make it simple and create a quiz that requires no extra programming skills, design slides with questions and links to right and wrong answers.

Instructions in this article apply to PowerPoint 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010; and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365.

Enhance Your Presentation With a Quiz

There are so many ways a quiz can enhance your PowerPoint presentation. Here are a few ways to use quizzes to teach, inform, and engage your audience:

• Use a quiz created in PowerPoint after a business presentation as an excuse to give away gifts to those who provide the right answers.
• Create a basic quiz in PowerPoint for children in elementary school.
• Create a quiz as an ice-breaker at a party or an orientation program.

Design Your First Quiz

Before you create a quiz in PowerPoint, put together a list of questions. To make your quiz the best it can be, research and compile questions that bring out the best in your audience. Choose questions to have only one correct answer. Five questions in a presentation is a good number to start with.

In a quiz, each question requires a minimum of three slides — the question slide, a slide with the correct answer, and a slide for each incorrect answer. In this tutorial, a picture is used for each question to add visual content and relevance to the quiz.

Begin Your First Slide

To get started on your quiz, open PowerPoint and create a new blank presentation. Insert a new slide using the Title Only layout, type your question in the Title placeholder, and insert a picture in your slide.

Add two text boxes for a True and False quiz. Or add three or more textboxes for a Multiple Choice quiz. One text box contains the right answer and the other text boxes contain wrong answers. Make sure that you do not provide a second answer that is correct or even partially correct to avoid confusion.

For a more exciting look, consider using WordArt , instead of regular text boxes for your multiple choice answers.

Create a Correct Answer Slide

Create a new slide for the correct answer. Be sure to provide a text box or some sort of navigation that leads viewers to the next question slide. You'll add a hyperlink to go to the next question slide after all your quiz slides are finished.

Create a Wrong Answer Slide

Create another slide that tells your audience that they've selected a wrong answer. Provide a text box or navigation element that leads viewers back to the question slide and give them a second chance to get the right answer to the question.

Add Hyperlinks to Slides

After you've created all of the question and answer slides, it's time to create hyperlinks between those slides.

On the question slides, select the text box that contains the correct answer. Press Ctrl + K (Windows) or Cmd + K (Mac) on your keyboard to open the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. Select Place in This Document and choose the slide that contains the correct answer.

After you've linked to the slide with the right answer, select the text boxes for the wrong answers and create links to the slides that contain the wrong answers.

On the answer slides, add hyperlinks so that your audience advances to the next question if they answered correctly or are redirected back to the question if they chose the wrong answer.

How to Make a Quiz in PowerPoint

Are you looking for an engaging and interactive way to test your audience’s knowledge or assess their understanding on a given topic? Making a quiz in PowerPoint could be the answer! This article will guide you through all the steps necessary to create a professional and effective quiz using Microsoft PowerPoint.

Table of Contents

The Benefits of Making a Quiz in PowerPoint

Quizzes are a great way to engage and entertain your audience while also providing valuable insights into their comprehension of a topic. By using PowerPoint to create your quiz, you can take advantage of the software’s robust features and design capabilities, all while keeping your audience focused and entertained.

One of the biggest benefits of creating a quiz in PowerPoint is the ability to easily customize the design and layout. With a variety of templates and themes available, you can create a visually appealing quiz that matches your brand or topic. Additionally, PowerPoint allows you to add multimedia elements such as images, videos, and audio to enhance the quiz experience for your audience.

Another advantage of using PowerPoint for quizzes is the ability to track and analyze results. PowerPoint offers built-in tools for tracking quiz scores and analyzing responses, allowing you to gain valuable insights into your audience’s understanding of the topic. This information can be used to improve future presentations and quizzes, ensuring that your audience is getting the most out of your content.

Understanding the Different Types of Quizzes

Before diving into the steps of creating a quiz in PowerPoint, it’s essential to understand the different types of quizzes you can make. Some popular styles include:

• Multiple-choice quizzes
• True/False quizzes
• Fill-in-the-blank quizzes
• Matching quizzes
• Short answer quizzes

Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, and you should choose the one that best fits your goal and audience’s interests.

It’s important to note that some types of quizzes may be more suitable for certain subjects or topics. For example, multiple-choice quizzes may work well for testing knowledge of facts and definitions, while short answer quizzes may be better for assessing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, the length and complexity of the quiz should also be considered, as some types may be more time-consuming to create and grade than others.

Steps to Create a Quiz in PowerPoint

Let’s walk through the steps to create a quiz in PowerPoint:

• Launch PowerPoint and open a new presentation.
• Click on “Insert” in the menu bar and select “New Slide.”
• Choose the type of slide layout you need for the quiz question (e.g., multiple-choice).
• Add the quiz question and answer choices to the slide.
• Repeat steps 2-4 for all the questions in the quiz.
• Customize the design of the quiz using PowerPoint’s formatting features.
• Add interactive elements such as audio and video to make the quiz more engaging.
• Save and distribute the quiz to your audience.

With these simple steps, you can create a professional and effective quiz that’ll engage and entertain your audience while also providing valuable insights into their comprehension of a topic.

It’s important to keep in mind that when creating a quiz in PowerPoint, you should aim to make it challenging but not too difficult. You want your audience to feel challenged and engaged, but not frustrated or discouraged. Additionally, it’s a good idea to include feedback for each question, so your audience can learn from their mistakes and improve their understanding of the topic.

Another tip is to use images and graphics to enhance the visual appeal of your quiz. This can help to break up the text and make the quiz more visually interesting. You can also use animations and transitions to add some fun and excitement to the quiz, but be careful not to overdo it and distract from the content.

How to Add Questions and Answers to Your Quiz

The most critical component of any quiz is the questions and answers. Here is how to add them to your PowerPoint quiz:

• Open a new slide in your PowerPoint presentation.
• Choose the type of question you want to ask and select an appropriate layout.
• Add the question to the slide.
• Select “Insert” from the PowerPoint menu bar.
• Click “Shapes” and select the shape that suits the type of answer you want, e.g. for multiple choice quiz you can choose a circle or square shape.
• Type each answer choice in the textbox(s) inside the shape(s).
• Add a hyperlink to each shape to hyperlink it with the respective question when clicked.

It is important to note that when creating quiz questions, you should ensure that they are clear and concise. Avoid using complex language or asking multiple questions in one. Additionally, when adding answer choices, make sure they are all plausible options and avoid using answers that are obviously incorrect. This will ensure that your quiz is effective in testing the knowledge of your audience.

Creating Interactive Elements for Your Quiz

Adding interactive elements to your quiz can enhance its excitement and entertainment value. Think about how you could incorporate audio, video, animations, and other interactive elements to your PowerPoint quiz. Here are some ways to create interactive elements:

• Add animations to emphasize correct answers.
• Incorporate sound effects for right and wrong answers.
• Embed videos to help illustrate a point or expand on a question.
• Use transitions to create an interesting or dramatic effect leading to the correct answer.

Another way to create interactive elements for your quiz is to include interactive images.
