Did They Learn Anything?
A review quiz serves a variety of purposes including as a record of participation in a training session and as a test to demonstrate an employee's comprehension of the material covered in your training session. Putting some fun into a quiz can help ease employees' test taking anxiety. One way to do this is by incorporating some trivia or mind bending questions into the quiz. Select topics that are interesting: sports, movies, television music. Mind bending questions can also be used to ease test taking tension: Divide 40 by ½. Add 20. What is your total?

"21 questions". A fun game can make the review session go quickly. This exercise combines review questions with a simple card game. You'll need questions, a hat or box to put them in and a deck or two of standard playing cards.
Before the training session, write the review questions on individual slips of paper.. Add in some sports/movie/TV/current events trivia questions. Ask employees to select a question, read it aloud, and answer it. Each person who answers correctly picks a playing card from the deck. Tell employees that they are trying to collect values that add up to, but don't exceed, 21. Tell the class the answers when someone responds incorrectly. If employees are missing questions, it is a good indication that they need more formal instruction. Go around the room . As employees add up their scores, some of them may want another card - let them answer another question. The person (s) whose cards add up to 21 or the closest to 21 wins some sort of a small prize. In case of a tie, use tie-breaker questions.
Since the questions are random, summarize the topic's important points in the correct order at the end of the session.
