Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform that makes learning fun and interactive. It allows individuals to create quizzes (called kahoots) that can be played live in class or assigned as self-paced challenges. Kahoot! promotes active participation, reinforces content knowledge, and supports collaborative learning.

Using Kahoot!, teachers can quickly assess student understanding, review material, and boost motivation through friendly competition. The platform supports multimedia images, videos, and music to enhance question engagement. Students love getting to create their own username and character, as well competing in the quiz to see who scores on the podium (top 3).

  • Review games before quizzes or tests

  • Introduce new topics in an engaging way

  • Reinforce concepts through repetition and competition

  • Formative assessments and exit tickets
