Different kinds of interactive questions, polls or quizzes encourage active participation. This will increase the participants’ concentration, and they will more easily memorize what they hear. In this post, we’ve put together 5+1 ideas for you to use almost anytime during a performance.
1. Introduction to the topic
Ask a thought-provoking question on the topic at the beginning of the presentation. This will help to attract the attention of your audience from the very first moment. If you have time, you can even highlight one or two of the more interesting answers and discuss them with the audience.
2. Playful mini quiz
Insert short quiz questions in your presentation that summarize what has been said previously. At the same time, it helps to check understanding and draw attention to key points.
3. Interactive polls in important issues
Use polls to compare different opinions! Involving participants in the decision-making process not only makes the presentation more interesting, but the opinions can also provide valuable feedback on the views and thoughts of the audience.
4. Group games
You also have the option to form small groups during the performance, and to organize competitions for them. Like in the mini quiz, the topic can be related to what has been said earlier. Playing in a team and the competitive spirit will further enhance attention and activity during your presentation.
5. Interactive exam or test
If you identify the respondents, the interactive questions can be used as an easy and well-evaluated test based on the aggregated data. In addition, this gives all respondents an equal chance of starting, as everyone can only answer the questions within a given time limit.
+1. +1 Request feedback
At the end of the presentation, take time to give feedback and summarize what was learned. Ask students to share their opinion on your presentation. Thanks to the option of a free-word answer, they can give you a full evaluation of your performance.
