How to Make an Interactive Pop Music Quiz for Free

Be Top of the Pops!

Create any live quiz for free with AhaSlides. Check the video to find out how!

We all know that variety is the spice of life, so why do most quizzes stick to the same multiple choice or open-ended format throughout?

There is so much you can do with a pop music quiz. Mix up the questions with a spicy variety of multiple choice text, image, sound and some open-ended questions as well.

Or you could branch out of the standard pop music quiz format entirely and indulge in some outside-the-box kinds of rounds.

Check out below how to use AhaSlides’ free software to make a creative, engaging pop music quiz, either team or solo, that’s 100% online!

Quiz Type #1 – Multiple Choice Text

The standard format for any pop music quiz is the multiple choice text question.

Simply write your question, the correct answer, a few wrong answers and let your players put forward their best guesses.

Quiz Type #2 – Multiple Choice Image

Making a pop music quiz about album covers or band members? Multiple choice image slides have got your back!

Write the question, offer one correct image (or GIF) and a few incorrect ones, and see who gets it.

You can upload images and GIFs straight from AhaSlides with its in-built image and GIF libraries.

Quiz Type #3 – Multiple Choice Sound

At its heart, of course, music isn’t about text and image, but sound. Luckily, you can embed audio very simply into any slide on AhaSlides.

Give your players a song intro and a time limit in which to name the song. You can award points for fastest answers, too!

Quiz Type #4 – Open-Ended

With any text, image or sound pop music quiz, you can choose to make the question open-ended instead of multiple choice.

Taking away the multiple choice can make a question much more difficult, so it’s a great idea to do it with questions that you feel are too easy.

Simply ask the question and list out what answers you will accept on the slide. Any answer that exactly matches any of these will get the points.

Quiz Type #5 – Word Cloud

A word cloud is one of those out-the-box quiz types we talked about earlier. It works on the same principle as the British game show Pointless.

Simply give your quiz players a category and ask them for the most obscure answer from that category. Answers that are mentioned the least get the points and answers that are mentioned the most get nothing.

For example, you could create a word cloud slide and ask your players for any of Billboard’s top 10 female artists of all time. The answers that appear largest are the ones that were put forward the most by your players. The smallest correct answer that appears is the one that takes home the points!

Note that word clouds are not categorised as quiz slides, so you’ll have to make note of the scores yourself.
