The ‘Test your AI knowledge’ quiz by Good Things is a fun way to check what people know about AI basics. This article shares ideas on how to use the quiz when teaching digital or AI skills.
People have different levels of confidence with AI, which makes it hard to plan sessions that suit everyone. This quiz helps you find out what your attendees already know, so you can organise better sessions for different groups.
The ‘Test your AI knowledge’ quiz was created for Get Online Week 2026 and sponsored by the National AI Centre. However, you can use it all year round to teach people about AI.
Below is a fun way to use this game when helping your community learn about AI.
Play the game in a group
Playing games is a really fun way to engage a group of learners. Here is an example of a session you could run with 5-8 people.
- Icebreaker: Play the Thumbs or Thumbs down game to get everyone feeling comfortable in the room.
- Discussion (Connect to topic): Introduce the AI topic and teach people about the things you would like to cover.
- Online learning: Play the Test your AI knowledge quiz. Put it on a big screen and play together OR support your group to load the game on their device and play individually. Have snacks ready as prizes! Keep track of the scores your participants go so that you can better plan future sessions based on their level of knowledge.
- Practical activity: Get participants to do an activity that relates to your session using an AI platform.
- Reflection: Ask everyone to share one thing they learnt about AI and celebrate with some cake!
This session will take about an hour.
Stop for breaks whenever your group needs it.
More tips to help others learn with this game
- Explain information in easy to understand English and take your time. Try to avoid using jargon, or if you do, explain what the jargon word means.
- Change our group and event suggestions to work for your community and learners. They are here to help you as a guide but you can adapt it to meet you and your learner’s needs.
- Create a summary of what you covered in your session and print it out for your learners to take home. They can refer back to it later.
- You may need to play the game or cover the information a couple of times to embed learning. That’s ok! Take your time and work at your learner’s pace. Try coming back with a refresher session on this topic for several weeks in a row and see the confidence and knowledge of your learners increase.
- You do not have to play this game in a special digital skills class. Use it in any of the existing groups that you support like social groups.
- The group session can easily be adapted to play the game one on one with someone you support. Just adjust the icebreaker and discussion to be an informal conversation.
- You can play the game on any device as long as it has an internet connection. We recommend using a tablet or computer as the bigger screen makes it easier to play the game.
- Make the session fun! The more fun you can make learning new things, the more the people you support will engage with the information and want to keep learning.
- Making a digital skills lesson feel inclusive and like a safe space starts before people even arrive. Be friendly when booking people in, give a warm welcome when they arrive, then go at the pace of your learners. Plan to hold it in a familiar room or space – it could even be outside in a garden if that is where they feel most comfortable!
