How to Create a Google Form: Step-by-Step for Beginners

Learn how to make a Google Form from scratch with easy, step-by-step instructions. Perfect for beginners with no computer or mobile experience.

🌟 What Is a Google Form?

A Google Form is like a digital notebook page where you can ask questions and collect answers.
You can use it for:

Surveys 📝
Event registration 🎉
Feedback 🗣️
Quizzes and tests 🎓

And guess what? You don’t need to be a tech wizard. All you need is a Gmail account and a little help from me, Karya the Crow!

🧳 What You’ll Need Before We Start

🧠 Your mind, ready to learn
📱 A smartphone or 💻 a computer/laptop
🌐 Internet connection
📧 A Gmail account (example: yourname@gmail.com)

🚀 Step-by-Step: How to Create a Google Form

🐾 Step 1: Go to Google Forms

Open Google Chrome (or any browser).
In the search bar, type:
google forms
And press Enter or Search.
Click on the first link:
🔗 https://forms.google.com/

This will take you to the Google Forms homepage.

🐾 Step 2: Sign In with Your Gmail

If it asks you to Sign In, type your Gmail ID and password.
This gives you access to create and save your form.

🐾 Step 3: Start a New Form

You will see a purple page with some templates.
Click on the big plus sign ➕ that says:
"Blank Form"

Now, you're in the Form Editor. Hooray! 🎉

🧠 Step 4: Understand the Form Layout

Let me explain the parts of the screen:

Part	What It Does
Form Title	Name of your form (like “My Feedback” or “Class Survey”)
Form Description	A short note about what the form is for
Question Section	Where you add your questions
Settings Wheel ⚙️	Controls who can fill it, quiz settings, etc.
Send Button 📩	How to share the form with others

🐾 Step 5: Add Your First Question

By default, your first question will already be open.

Click on the text that says “Untitled Question”
Type your question.
Example: What is your name?
Below that, choose the question type:
- Short answer (for names, numbers)
- Paragraph (for long answers)
- Multiple choice
- Checkboxes
- Dropdown
Click the Required toggle if you want the question to be compulsory.

✅ Great! You’ve made your first question.

🐾 Step 6: Add More Questions

Click the plus (+) button on the right side.
Add another question.
Example: What is your age?
Choose Short answer again.

Repeat this step to build your form.

🐾 Step 7: Change the Theme (Optional but Fun!)

Click the 🎨 Paint palette icon at the top.

You can choose different colors
Add a header image (like a banner)
Change font style

This makes your form look beautiful!

🐾 Step 8: Preview Your Form

Click the eye icon 👁️ on the top right to preview your form.

You can check:

If the questions work properly
What your users will see

🔙 Click the back arrow to return to editing.

🐾 Step 9: Share Your Form (Send It!)

Now it’s time to share!

Click the “Send” button 📩 at the top right.

You can:

Enter someone’s email to send directly ✉️
Copy the link 🔗 and share on WhatsApp or anywhere
Even get an embed code for websites

📌 Tip: Click "Shorten URL" to make the link small.

🐾 Step 10: See the Answers

Click the “Responses” tab at the top.
