Presentation Ideas that Motivate People to Pay Attention

There are two kinds of knockout presentations.
Here's how to avoid this kind...

Wake up a dull presentation with these ideas

The best way for you to make a presentation click and stick in people's minds is to make it fun. People pay attention to fun — that's automatic. But pumping fun into some topics or situations is like trying to blow air into a popped balloon.

Fortunately, there's a tool that can help you make any subject fun. It's a presentation template that wakes people up instead of putting them to sleep. It can help you make your subject into a fun, interactive and challenging experience for your audience. How? By presenting your review points or questions as a funny, TV-style quiz show.

"Game Show Presenter PLUS enabled us to take a very dry subject and make it a ton of fun!"
— Mike T. (training presenter)

Game Show Presenter makes customizable game shows presentations for all kinds of uses: meeting presentations, training presentations, sales training, classroom reviews, orientations, customer service training, leadership activities, fun fundraiser events and as an icebreaker.

The presentation ideas below are all based on this game show presentation template that you can easily customize to fit your topic. You can learn more here. Now, on to the ideas!

game show for any presentation topic

Meeting Presentation Ideas:

  • Meetings that introduce new products often involve learning lots of features and benefits. Motivate people to remember the details with a Name That Feature game show. Write a quiz that describes the feature, then players must name that feature from the multiple-choice list. (Presentation Tip: For lengthy sessions, you can break up your Powerpoint presentation by using a game show every hour or two to review key points and energize people.
    "It is unique and gives a new twist to the ho hum PowerPoint presentation!"
    — Eddy (educator)
  • Dull staff meetings? Make them fun with a staff trivia game show that features fun trivia facts about staff (hobbies, pet names, past achievements, etc.)
  • Add fun to orientations. Help people relax and absorb your information with an orientation game show that reviews basic things you want everyone to know. It's a fun, friendly way to drive home your points.

    Training Presentation Ideas:

  • Use a two-prong approach for effective training sessions. First, open the session with a game show that simply aims to assess the level of knowledge in your audience. The show will wake them up while giving you a feel for your audience. After the opening show, give people a big motivator to pay attention closely. Announce there will be a second game show at the end of the day with questions all based on the training presentation.
  • Motivate people to return promptly after a break by announcing there will be a game show and a chance to win prizes. (Presentation tip: There is an optional Prize Presentation scene in Game Show Presenter.)
    "The software is a great tool at my workshops and conference presentations... Even the shy folks start participating."
    — James W. (Presenter)

    School Presentation Ideas:

  • Who Wants To Be a Kid? For this game show concept, let kids write the questions and teachers be the contestants in a game show that would be great fun for a school assembly or PTA fundraiser. Kids will love making teachers squirm with trivia about current fads and fashions, TV shows, boy bands, sports statistics, etc.

    Reunion Ideas:

  • Present a quiz show to see who remembers the most about the places, trends and events of past times.
  • Do a little research to learn the interesting things people have gone on to do, then make a quiz show based on the info. It will be a great ice breaker event.

    Icebreaker Ideas:

  • Make a trivia quiz game show based on what people in your group have in common.
  • If people have come to an event from out of town, base a game show on the destination. It's a good conversation starter.

    Office Party Ideas:

  • Liven up your next office party or event with a trivia game show all about your business and the people who work there.
