Kahoot! A Fun Quiz Game for Class

If you're looking for a fun alternative to common review activities, try Kahoot.


Kahoot is a fun and extremely simple online quiz game which can be used for learning-checks, end of unit review, or general formative assessments. It is very easy and fast for teachers to set up a quiz/review activity and easy for even the youngest kids to use. And did I mention that it's a game (i.e. fun)?

If you're looking for something different than Jeopardy and faster to set up than some kind of template based game, Kahoot will work well for you. Plus, this is a great way to use student devices in class; you don't need to check out the iPads or computers to make this work. Since the teacher puts in his own questions, it will work for any subject.

How it Works

1. A teacher creates an account on the Kahoot website (for free) and creates a new "Kahoot" or activity for kids. 
2. The teacher enters in questions (as many or few as he wishes) and receives a code for his Kahoot. 
3. Kids go to Kahoot.it on any device and type in the code to start playing. 

That's it.

Students watch the questions on the front board and choose the color square on their device to answer. Answers are awarded points based on time to respond and if they got the correct answer. A leader board is shown after each question.

It's fast and free. Give it a try.
