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 Moderate Question-and-Answer Sessions in Your Presentation

Cover for how to moderate questions & answers

An unconventional question is the one thing that can ruin the presentation you’ve been preparing for. Picture this, you are in the middle of a talk, and someone from the audience shoots a query like a stray bullet. Now, you’re scratching for answers, and your credibility is in maximum exposure.

Questions play a significant role in enhancing the overall effectiveness of a presentation as it allows you to assess the audience’s understanding of the content you presented and engage with them on a deeper level. You don’t want to dodge the queries. Including a well-structured Q&A session within your presentation is vital.

This article explores how to moderate question and answer sessions effectively and how you can prepare for them.

Why Is Question-and-Answer Session Important?

So, why is it important to include a question-and-answer session in a presentation?

Dale Carnegie sums up the importance of questions in various aspects of life in his book, How to Win Friends and Influence People . “Questions are the key that unlocks doors of opportunity and locks out doubt and uncertainty,” he said.

Let’s look at the above quote through the lens of a presenter and break down the benefits that can turn out from a stressful Q&A session.

It provides clarification. During a Q&A session, participants can seek clarifications on any unclear points or misunderstandings. This allows presenters to address any misconceptions by providing additional information or context.

It allows you to overcome objections. Your audience may have concerns or doubts about your arguments. Use the Q&A session to listen to your audience’s concerns and address them directly. You may build trust and win over some audiences.

It demonstrates your expertise. A well-handled Q&A session can showcase your expertise and knowledge on the topic. By providing accurate and thoughtful responses to questions, you can establish yourself as an expert in your field, further reinforcing your credibility and authority.

It provides you with a different perspective. Through the questions asked during a Q&A session, you can gain insights into your audience’s perspectives. This will help you understand the audience’s needs and plan future presentations or business strategies.

Real-Life Scenarios for Q&A Sessions

Business Presentations. Q&A sessions are commonly used in business presentations , such as sales pitches and investor meetings. This allows you to address any concerns or objections of unconvinced prospects and help them arrive at a buying decision.

Training or Workshops. Q&A sessions are often included in training sessions or workshops, where participants may have questions about the material being taught or need further explanations. Q&A sessions can foster active participation, encourage learning, and provide opportunities for participants to seek clarification on concepts or practical applications.

Public Speaking Engagements. Q&A sessions are often included in public speaking engagements, such as conferences, seminars, and webinars. In these scenarios, the Q&A session allows the speaker to interact with the audience, address their concerns, and provide additional information.

Town Hall Meetings. Q&A sessions are often included in town hall meetings or open forums, where employees or stakeholders can ask questions to leadership or management. This allows for transparency, communication, and engagement with the audience, addressing their concerns or feedback.

A question and answer (Q&A) session can be helpful in various business scenarios, but it’s not mandatory for every presentation. Consider the nature of your presentation (is it complex?) and your audience’s needs and time constraints.

How to Prepare for a Q&A Session

Identify Potential Questions That May Come Up

The groundwork you do for your presentation, such as doing the research and preparing the PowerPoint template , pretty much prepares you for the potential questions that may arise during the big day.

In the planning phase of your presentation, you conduct research and gather relevant information on your topic. This includes identifying key points, data, statistics, and references you will present. Assuming that you don’t skip any of the background work, you’re on your way to answering questions confidently during the Q&A session.

Of course, you also have to consider the background of your audience. What are their demographics or their level of familiarity with the topic? This understanding will help you anticipate their questions and tailor responses that resonate with their perspective.

Establish Clear Guidelines for Questions

It is important to set ground rules on how you would like to address questions to ensure a smooth-sailing presentation. At the beginning of your talk, discuss the flow of your presentation, including when you’ll be entertaining queries from the audience.

If you want them to keep their questions at the end of the discussion, say so and allocate an ample time for Q&A. You should also establish clear guidelines on how they should ask their questions (e.g., raise their hand, submit in writing).

Some presenters would specify topics or areas they are willing to discuss. However, it is dangerous to come across as controlling or restrictive and may negatively impact the dynamics of the presentation.

In a sales pitch , for example, the goal of a Q&A is to build rapport and trust with the prospects. Dictating what questions they can ask may not align with the principles of customer-centric selling.

Encourage Pre-Session Questions

Encourage attendees to submit questions beforehand through email, a designated online platform, or in person. Doing so will provide you with valuable insights into your audience’s specific needs and expectations. It will also help you proactively address their concerns during your presentation without waiting for the Q&A segment.

Collect Questions During the Presentation

Attendees may forget their questions if they have to hold onto them until the Q&A session. Instead of saving all the questions for the end of the presentation , you can actively encourage the audience to submit questions during the presentation itself.

There are several ways to collect questions throughout the presentation. One common approach is to use a live chat or Q&A feature in virtual presentation platforms.

Another approach is to use audience response systems or polling tools, such as Mentimeter, Slido, or Poll Everywhere, allowing the audience to submit or vote on existing questions during the presentation.

The presenter or moderator can then periodically review the incoming questions and pick the most relevant to address in the Q&A.

Best Moderation Practices During Q&As

A group of spectators asking for questions

Choose the Right Time to Open the Floor to Questions

If your presentation is interactive and encourages audience participation, you can pause at certain points and invite questions from the audience. This approach can help keep the audience engaged and address immediate clarifications or concerns.

On the other hand, if you dedicated time to questions at the end of the presentation, you can announce when the Q&A portion began. A Q&A slide in the background may also help to set the mood.

Listen to the Whole Question

When moderating a Q&A, listening to the whole question actively is important. If you interrupt the participant before they finish their question, you risk misinterpreting them and missing important details. Jumping to conclusions or assumptions can lead to inaccurate or incomplete responses and may not fully address the participant’s concern.

The best practice is to give your undivided attention to the participant delivering the question and pause to come up with a thoughtful answer. This will also allow you to seek clarification to complex or ambiguous questions.

Keep Responses Succinct and On-topic

When addressing a question, keep it focused and brief. Avoid long-winded explanations or excessive details that go beyond the scope of the query.

The technique here is to structure your response in a logical and organized manner. For instance, you can start by restating the question, followed by your key points and some tangible examples.

Afterward, return to the questionnaire and ask if you can address their concern.

Redirect Irrelevant or Inappropriate Questions

It’s not new to encounter questions from the left field during Q&As. As the presenter, you can refuse to answer irrelevant questions.

However, if you think the questioner is genuinely curious, you may seek clarification to understand their perspective better. You may say along the lines of, “That’s an interesting question. Could you please provide more context or clarify how it relates to our current topic?”

If you still find the question irrelevant, you can politely decline to answer it. You can say, “Thank you for your question, but it seems unrelated to our presentation’s topic.”

Regardless of how you respond, it’s important to maintain professionalism and avoid being dismissive or confrontational.

Dealing With Aggressive or Hostile Participants During Q&As

Sometimes, one audience member will aggressively shoot up their hands to criticize and attack your presentation. And often, you cannot dismiss them. Remember, you must control this situation while still being diplomatic, no matter how tempting it is to push back aggressively.

A good tip from psychology professor Susan Fiske is to focus on what they’re saying rather than how they’re saying it. Avoid getting defensive or reacting emotionally to their tone, as it may escalate the situation.

Handling aggressive behavior in Q&A sessions

When addressing their concern, start setting the common ground – mention where you agree. For example, you could say, “I appreciate your perspective on this issue, and I agree that…”

Let’s use this in a mock-up scenario.

Audience member: “I don’t think your marketing strategy will be effective; it’s too costly and doesn’t align with our target audience.”

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I appreciate your input on this issue, and I agree that cost-effectiveness and alignment with our target audience are critical considerations in our marketing strategy. The proposed strategy is based on market trends and consumer behavior data and has the potential to yield positive results. We value your input in helping us optimize our strategy, and I would be happy to discuss this further.

By actively acknowledging and expressing agreement, the speaker made the unconvinced audience feel heard while reassuring them that the marketing strategy had been carefully planned.

As you can see, a well-structured and effectively moderated question-and-answer (Q&A) session can greatly enhance the overall effectiveness of a presentation. By preparing for potential questions, setting clear guidelines, encouraging pre-session questions, and collecting questions during the presentation, you can be better equipped to handle questions from the audience.

Use the moderation tips we’ve provided in this article, so you can confidently navigate Q&A sessions and maintain your credibility with your audience.

It’s important to frame disagreement in a constructive and respectful way. You might say, “ I found your point on X intriguing. From a different perspective, could Y also be considered…? ” This opens up a dialogue without dismissing the presenter’s viewpoint.

How can I formulate my questions to encourage a more detailed answer?

Use open-ended questions that start with “ how ,” “ why, ” or “ could you explain… ” as these require more than a yes or no answer and encourage the presenter to provide depth. For example, “ Could you explain the process behind your research findings in more detail? “

By asking insightful questions, you’re not only cementing your understanding of the material presented but also opening doors to further knowledge and collaboration. Remember, the quality of your questions reflects the depth of your engagement and willingness to learn.

So, the next time you find yourself in the audience, seize the opportunity to ask meaningful questions and watch as simple presentations transform into dialogues that inspire and illuminate.

New York AG questions out-of-state underwriter of $175 million Trump bond

By Kara Scannell, CNN

(CNN) — The New York attorney general’s office is raising questions about the $175 million bond Donald Trump posted in the civil fraud case and has asked for more information to prove it’s financially sound.

Trump filed the bond Monday night after gaining a reprieve from a New York appeals court that lowered the amount he needed to post from $464 million to $175 million. The lifeline gave Trump more time to obtain a bond after telling the court 30 underwriters refused to back a bond for nearly half a billion dollars.

The attorney general’s office, led by Democrat Letitia James, on Thursday took a step to challenge the soundness of the deal and filed a “notice of exception to the sufficiency of the surety” to seek additional information from Trump or the underwriter about the bond because the insurer is not regulated by New York state.

Judge Arthur Engoron set a hearing for April 22.

On Monday, California-based Knight Specialty Insurance Company agreed to underwrite the bond. Don Hankey, the chairman and majority shareholder of Knight Specialty Insurance, told CNN on Tuesday that Trump provided $175 million in cash as collateral for the bond.

Lawyers familiar with bonds say it’s fair for the attorney general’s office to want to understand the collateral used to support the bond. Trump can ask the judge to sign-off on Knight or pair Knight with another company that is authorized in New York.

“If they seek court approval of Knight Specialty, I believe that the attorney general will want proof that the company is actually holding the $175 million in cash collateral so the bond can be immediately paid if the judgment is affirmed without needing to wait to try to liquidate pledged assets,” said Bruce Lederman, an attorney with DL Partners, who has experience obtaining bonds.

Knight Specialty and its parent company are not authorized to issue surety bonds in New York state and therefore can’t obtain a certificate from the New York Department of Financial Services, which is usually part of a bond package. The attorney general’s office asked for additional information within 10 days, or it said the bond will not be in effect.

By posting the bond, Trump stopped the attorney general’s office from moving to enforce the judgment by seizing assets. Trump is appealing the judgment and the judge’s finding that he is liable for fraud.

Earlier Thursday, Trump provided additional information about the bond to include financial statements of the underwriter. The new documents indicate Knight Specialty Insurance Company had total assets of $539 million as of the end of 2023 and $138 million in surplus to policy holders. The parent company’s total assets are $2.2 billion with $1 million in surplus, according to the filing.

Lederman said in New York a company is not supposed to underwrite a bond for more than 10% of its surplus cash.

Trump’s attorney accused the attorney general’s office of trying to be purposely troublesome for the former president.

“After hiding out in silence following an embarrassing loss in the First Department which does not bode well for the future of her baseless and vindictive political crusade, the Attorney General now seeks to stir up some equally baseless public quarrel in a desperate effort to regain relevance,” said Chris Kise, an attorney for Trump.

The challenge is the latest twist in the years-long battle between the Trump and the attorney general’s office, which also on Thursday sought a more direct line into the bond negotiations.

Lawyers for the attorney general’s office asked Engoron to explicitly authorize the independent monitor overseeing the Trump Organization to share information with any party in the case. Last month, the judge directed the Trump Organization to supply detailed information to the monitor about its efforts to obtain bonds to cover judgments.

The attorney general’s office also asked the judge to order the monitor to dig into the guilty plea of Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, who admitted he lied to the state during its investigation into Trump’s finances.
