If you want to get your
students engaged in the lessons and turn the fun mode on in class,
this web tool is for you! Kahoot is one of the latest gamifying
apps that I constantly use in my classroom to liven up my warm ups,
quizzes and reviews! They raise the energy level of my classes to
the highest level – every time!
Kahoot is a student-response
gamifying tool that let teachers create multiple-choice quizzes.
They provides quick, real-time results and give students instant
feedback on their devices without anyone being called out
individually.
Tech
Requirements
For
teachers: white screen and overhead
projector
For
students: smartphones, tablets or
laptops …and of course a strong, reliable internet
connection!
How to Create a
Kahoot!
Simply have your test
questions ready and log in to
create.kahoot.it.
Click Quiz to create a series
of multiple choice questions.
Adjust each kahoot question if
necessary by varying the timer and point system depending on the
level of difficulty.
Finally, add images and videos
for a more engaging content and/or if you wish to give
clues.
How to Play
Kahoot!
Players do NOT need a kahoot
account to play!
Launch the game you created on
a shared screen (using overhead projector) so the class could see
the Game Pin.
Using their electronic device,
students will go to kahoot.it and join in the fun by entering the
pin. They will have to provide a nickname to see who got what
score. I suggest letting them play by pairs or in groups, but if
you have a strong internet connection you can let them play
individually.
Once you see all their
nicknames on the waiting screen, you can click Start to begin the
fun!
Tip
If students join in using
inappropriate or offensive nicknames, it is easy to “kick” them out
of the game by simply clicking on their nicknames. Remind and
encourage students at the outset to use proper or suitable names to
avoid these situations.
Try it
now
You can try out this simple
game that I created about Jobs and
Profession.
Launch this kahoot quiz on
your laptop/desktop computer.
Enter the pin using your
smartphone or tablet.
Have
fun!
Ideas for Using Kahoot in
Class
1. Set a Weekly Kahoot
Day
I use this Kahoot mainly to
review concepts and vocabulary. My students always ask to play
Kahoot again and again so I decided to establish a Kahoot day for
quick revision and informal assessments. You can download a report
of your students performance which can give you an idea where are
your students at in their learning.
2. Challenge Kids to Create
their Own Kahoot
You can also challenge your
students to create their own Kahoot quiz for higher order learning.
I divide my class into groups with 4 or 5 members where each member
contributes at least 5 questions about the topic or unit we
discussed in class.
3. Break the Ice or Fill the
Time
There are thousands of Kahoots
made by educators which you can quickly access for free! Play a
Kahoot when you have random few minutes to fill, or when students
need some energy booster!
4. Play Kahoot as a Warm up or
Exit Ticket
Use Kahoot as a class starter
– a quick five-question quiz about the previous lesson or as a lead
in to the new topic. Alternatively, play Kahoot before students
leave the class and ask them a short 3 to 5-item survey or poll
about the day’s lesson.
5. Assign Kahoot as
Homework
The latest Kahoot feature
called Challenge lets you assign kahoots as homework and is quite
helpful! Assigning kahoots as homework saves the teacher lots of
time because this kind of homework corrects itself. Also, after a
challenge is completed, you can review stats question by question
and see the ratio of correct and of incorrect
answers.
