Pick a random movie for me. In cinema, you may have sometimes been crippled by thousands of titles and couldn't decide which movie to start? Even if you've been through Netflix's movie library and still be hopeless? Let the Random Movie Generator wheel help you narrow your movie choices to what you're looking for.
Get templateNine pin-on-image slides cover everything from pizza toppings to Vietnamese dishes — you can see exactly what participants will tap through during your session.
A pin-to-pick favorites template is a collection of interactive slides that lets everyone in the room mark their preference directly on an image — no words or typing required. This particular template contains nine categories spanning food, lifestyle, and entertainment: pizza toppings, morning drinks, desserts, Vietnamese dishes, movie genres, music genres, night-in activities, comfort spots at home, and home types. Two bookend slides open and close the session, making it a self-contained survey that runs in about 10 minutes with any size group.
Each slide uses AhaSlides' pin-on-image interaction. Participants tap or click the spot on the image that represents their choice. Every pin appears on the shared screen in real time, so the group instantly sees where preferences cluster and where they diverge. Results display as overlaid pins stacking up on the image — there is no heatmap, just a visual accumulation that makes the room's collective taste immediately readable.
The template is designed as a no-pressure survey rather than a competition. There are no right or wrong answers, no points, and no leaderboard. The mix of universal and culturally specific categories — including the Vietnamese dish slide — means different people will respond differently, which is precisely the point. Groups come away having learned something genuinely new about the people in the room.
This template fits any session where you want people to reveal something about themselves quickly, without putting anyone on the spot.
The whole setup takes under two minutes.
Asking a group "what's your favourite movie genre?" gets you a murmur and a few hands. Asking them to pin it on a visual grid of genre options — with everyone watching the same image fill up — gets you a room of people pointing at the screen and debating why horror is underrated. The image constrains the choice and makes the act of choosing visible, which turns a passive survey into something people actually talk about.
Pin-on-image removes the blank-page problem entirely. There is nothing to type and nothing to say aloud — just a tap. That low-friction mechanic makes it especially effective for groups where English is a second language, for quieter participants who wouldn't normally volunteer an answer, and for any situation where you need fast, high-participation results without warm-up time.
The Vietnamese dish slide is worth singling out. When a template includes something culturally specific — pho, banh mi, goi cuon — participants from that background often react visibly, and the conversation that follows is different in kind from what a generic "favourite food" poll produces. Recognition does something broad questions don't.
Nine categories also means the template builds momentum. By the fourth or fifth slide, the group has stopped thinking about the mechanics and started paying attention to the results. The comfort spot and home type slides near the end tend to generate the most discussion precisely because people are warmed up and curious by then.
Browse every slide before you use it. Each slide uses the pin-on-image format — participants tap directly on the image to drop their pin. No typing required.
A mood check-in template is a structured activity run at the start of a meeting, class, or training session to help participants acknowledge how they're actually feeling before the session begins. Rather than pretending everyone arrives at the same energy level, a mood check-in surfaces the real emotional starting point of the group — helping facilitators calibrate their approach and helping participants feel seen.
This template uses AhaSlides' pin-on-image slide type — a feature where participants tap or click directly on a visual image to drop a pin at the point that represents their answer. There's no typing, no multiple-choice options, and no pressure to explain themselves. They just tap. Results appear on the presenter's screen as a real-time cluster of pins, creating an instant visual snapshot of the room's collective mood.
The pin-on-image format is especially effective for mood activities because the visual and spatial nature of pinning feels more expressive and less clinical than picking from a list. When someone pins their energy level near "running on empty", they're sharing something real. And when you can see all the pins clustered in the same zone, it normalises that feeling in a way that a verbal check-in rarely does.
This template works in any session where knowing the group's emotional starting point would change how you facilitate it. The pin format is especially good for groups that might not feel comfortable answering mood questions out loud.
The whole setup takes under 3 minutes. The template is ready to run as-is, or you can swap the images to better fit your context.
The default mood check-in — asking the room "how's everyone feeling today?" — has a well-known failure mode. The first person to answer sets the tone, everyone else anchors to it, and you end up with a room of "fine, thanks" responses that tell you nothing. Quiet people stay quiet. Stressed people say they're fine. The actual emotional temperature of the group stays hidden.
This template breaks that pattern by making the interaction visual, spatial, and simultaneous. Everyone pins at the same time on their own device, so there's no social anchoring — the person next to you can't see where you tapped before you do. And because the answer is a tap on an image rather than a typed word or spoken sentence, the threshold to participate is almost zero.
The pins that accumulate on screen do something text responses can't: they show clustering. When most of a team pins their energy level in the "low" zone of the gauge, that visual pile-up is immediate and undeniable. It often prompts the facilitator — or the group — to name what's going on before the real session starts. That's more valuable than anything on the agenda.
The "song that matches your mood" slide is particularly effective as an opener because music is a culturally shared shorthand for emotion. Pinning "energetic pop" vs "melancholy indie" is a low-stakes, playful act that still reveals something real — and the visual result almost always generates comments and laughter, which is exactly the energy you want at the start of a session.
