POLLS

Get an instant read on opinions, preferences, or knowledge, without breaking your flow or slowing down the session.

1. Open with a poll, not a slide. Starting with a question signals from the outset that this is a two-way session, and gives a reason to tune in right away.
2. Use results as your springboard. Don’t just show the answers and move on. Reference the outcome to help participants feel heard and keep the energy high.
3. Place polls at transitions. Using them between sections resets attention and creates a natural pause in longer sessions.
   
   With Kahoot! 360: Run live polls directly from your presentation slides, no switching tools. Results appear in real time and display instantly for in-person, remote, and hybrid teams.

SURVEYS

Go deeper than a single question. Collect structured feedback during or after your session.

1. Run a pre-session survey to shape your content. Understanding participants’ baseline knowledge or priorities before you present lets you adapt in real time, not in a follow-up email.
2. Keep it to 5–7 questions for in-session surveys. Attention is finite. A shorter survey drives higher completion rates and more honest responses.
3. Mix question types. Combine rating scales, multiple choice, and open text to capture both quantitative and qualitative insight in one go.

With Kahoot! 360: Replace the post-meeting follow-up with an in-session survey. Collect responses while context is fresh, then access participation reports to spot knowledge gaps.

WORD CLOUD

Make collective thinking visible. Turn individual responses into a shared visual that captures the ideas of the whole room.

1. Ask open, single-concept questions. “What’s one word that describes our team culture?” works well. Broad, multi-part questions don’t, one idea per prompt produces cleaner, more useful clouds.
2. Discuss the outliers, not just the biggest words. Responses that appear once or twice are often the most interesting conversation starters in the room.
3. Run two clouds back-to-back to show change. A “before and after” comparison is a simple, powerful way to demonstrate learning within a single session.

With Kahoot! 360: Responses populate the word cloud live on screen as participants submit them, creating a shared, dynamic moment that’s far more engaging than a static slide.

BRAINSTORMS

Give every participant, even quieter team members, a structured, equal way to contribute ideas during your session.

1. Set a clear scope before you open it up. “How might we improve customer onboarding?” gives participants a frame to work within. Without one, ideas drift and become harder to act on.
2. Use anonymity to unlock candor. People share things anonymously that they won’t say out loud, especially in hierarchical teams. Anonymous brainstorms consistently produce more creative, honest input.
3. Always close with a next step. A brainstorm without a decision or owner is just a list. Before ending, identify the top ideas to explore and who’s taking them forward.

With Kahoot! 360: Facilitate brainstorms directly within your presentation flow. Collect and display ideas in real time, then use the results to guide discussion.
