Word Cloud Activities

As we said, word clouds are actually one of the most versatile tools in your arsenal. They can be used across a bunch of different fields to elicit a bunch of different responses from a live (or not live) audience.

  1. Imagine you're a teacher, and you're trying to check students' understanding of a topic you've just taught. Sure, you can ask students how much they understand in a multiple choice poll or use an AI quiz maker to see who's been listening, but you can also offer up a word cloud where students can offer one-word responses to simple questions:

  1. How about a trainer who works with international companies? Maybe you've got a full day of virtual training ahead of you and you need to break the ice between multiple employees across multiple cultures:

Check out these 14+ online games for virtual meetings, as the live word cloud is the best tool to show your employees’ appreciation for each other and can prove a great kick for morale.

💡 Collecting opinions for a survey? On AhaSlides, you can also turn your live word cloud into a regular word cloud that your audience can contribute in their own time. Letting the audience take the lead means that you don't have to be present while they're adding their thoughts to the cloud, but you can log back on at any time to see the cloud growing.

Want More Ways to Engage?

There's no doubt a live word cloud generator can increase engagement across your audience, but it's just one string to the bow of interactive presentation software.

If you're looking to check understanding, break the ice, vote for a winner or gather opinions, there are heaps of ways to go:
