ways to make learning fun

Perfect for formative ASSESSMENT

Blooket

Online game that my pupils love! There are many different games that can be played with the same set of questions. Vocabulary can be imported from Quizlet.

Gimkit

Another game that pupils will be happy to do all lesson long if you let them (hint, do not start the lesson with it). Vocabulary can be imported from Quizlet. The most popular game with my pupils is an Among Us style game.

Bamboozle

Lots of ready made games to use of make your own. The pupils do not need to have any technology, only the teacher because the questions are projected on the board or teacher's screen and the answers are given orally by team or individual.


Kahoot

The old favorite is still a winner. Find ready made games, edit them, or make your own.


Quizlet

Great way for pupils to learn vocabulary. If you search you will find ready-made sets you can use as is or edit or make your own. There is also a fun live version.

Quizalize

Another way to combine formative assessment and fun.

quizziz

Wordwall

Really fun and versatile. A must for in person and distance learning. Great way to have kids work in groups and pairs.

genially

Many ways to make interactive slides, games, quizzes. The more I use it, the more I love it!

GooseChase Edu

Just what it sounds like. Make a treasure hunt / scavenger hunt for you pupils. Tons of fun.
