Create a Matching activity
Discover the newest Beekast activity: Matching !
This assessment activity allows you to check if your participants understood a concept by asking them to link elements together. It is a fun way to test your audience’s knowledge by combining visuals and/or keywords!
To create and add an idea association activity to your session, click on “Add a slide”, on the top left, then select “Matching” on the bottom of the scrollable panel.
Activity settings
1. Title and Instructions
- Customise your Quiz activity! The default title is the name of the activity. To change it, delete the automatic title and enter your own question or a customised title.
- Add an instruction to give you more details about your activity. This option is optional.
2. Activity format
- Choose the score allocated to the activity. This represents the number of points the participant will earn if they complete the activity correctly. You can pick to allocate between 0 and 10 points.
On the editing panel, you can build your associations:
1. The first box is the left-hand side of the association. Match a word or phrase, an image, or both!
2. The second box corresponds to the right-hand part, and the part of the association to be linked with the first part.
3. To add an image, click on ‘Image’ to the right of the proposal, then select an image from your device, from an external link or from Beekast's built-in image bank.
4. The little red bin to the right of the suggestion is for deleting suggestions
5. You can add more associations as needed.
It is not possible to have fewer than three associations
You can rearrange your different associations by clicking on the small dots to the left of the proposals, then dragging the association to the desired position.
3. Presentation settings and Results
From this area, you can:
- Activate the option to display the number of live participations

Scores
The Matching activity as an evaluation activity allows your participants to score points based on the selected answers. The participant will earn points for each correct answer and will not earn any points if they give a wrong answer.
Points can be displayed by presenters and participants using the My Score button, found at the top of the screen next to the Results button. A small window will provide information about the points earned and on which activities.
