What to call quizzes

Hello!
I am struggling to find a name for my quizing slides.
Every few slides I put in a quiz question, to check that the learners are understanding what's going on (and to add a bit more interactivity). But I don't know what to call these sections. Here are some ones I don't like:
- Knowledge check
- Understanding check
- Self assessment questions
- Pop quiz
Do you have any other ideas? I have been stuck on this for weeks now and I am delivering a first draft tomorrow.
Thanks
(b.t.w. I am attempting to apply light gamification which is why I think the examples are a bit too formal and/or wordy, except pop quiz, that's just horrible)

Maybe using the active voice in the title will do it?
Or something conversational -
Or silly -
Do they need a name at all?
Good point Nancy! Why don't you just write the question at the top of the screen instead of having a generic name?
Just ask a question, linking it back to something they have learned but need to extrapolate/think to get the correct answer. Do not just make it a test of their short-term memory. As Nancy says - it does not have to be "called" anything. Just do it.
The "name" is the question, I just add an icon so they know it will show feedback.
Since you mentioned this was due last week, this might be moot now but I completed a course recently where these activities were all referred to as a "Learning Activity"
It depends on if there is a theme... For instance, I did an auto racing theme and I called a Pit Stop.
