You have probably used Google Forms to ask free response or multiple choice questions, but did you know that you can also create a matching question?
Forms doesn't offer an obvious "matching" question type, but with a little creativity, you can make it work!
The secret is to use the "grid" question type to set up a matching style question.
Unfortunately the quiz feature available in Google Forms will not work with "grid" questions however you can use the Flubaroo add-on for Google Sheets to auto-grade quizzes with this type of question.
Tips:
- Place your definitions in the row and use the columns for your terms.
- Enable "require a response for each row."
- Make sure that you select the "limit to one response per column option"
- Enable "shuffle row order"
Watch this short video for some additional tips on creating a matching question with Google Forms.

"I was a casual user of Forms, but I was not using the data that I had collected to it's full potential. Now I am writing better Forms so my data is of higher quality and I am better able to analyze the results so I'm making decisions based on data...not just giving surveys." - Laura Foreback, middle school teacherThis course is perfect for classroom teachers, tech coaches, and school administrators!
