100% Student Interaction


If you haven't played Kahoot with your students you are missing out on a lot of fun.  I haven't found anyone that does not enjoy this game.  It can be played from a laptop, tablet or cell phone.  Students go to kahoot.it to sign in with the pin number assigned to the teacher's game.  There are a bunch of premade games to choose from if you don't want to create your own game.  I usually play one of the premade logo games, students really love it and it is a great way to introduce students to Kahoot.  Adults even like it so you could use it for teacher's meetings.  If you really want to be original and insert your own photos along with test questions, I will warn you it takes quite a bit of time.  After I create a game I usually play the game myself with one of my kids to help me proof for mistakes.  Teachers can sign up for free at https://getkahoot.com/ and start creating their own game based on their lesson plans or using premade games.  I have used it to review books read, math concepts and rules or practice for an upcoming test in another subject.  Everyone gets to answer every questions and you can even get a read out of who missed which questions.  Students get to choose an appropriate game name, if they don't , one click from the teacher on the inappropriate name and the student gets bumped out of the game. Student especially love it shows who is in the top 5 contestants, which can change with a simple incorrect question or one that a students takes too long to answer. Below is a sample of a question page that you present on wall from a projector or a Smartboard and also what the students see on their device.
