Blooket is a game-based learning platform that allows teachers to create and host quiz-style games for students to play live or independently. It blends trivia with gaming elements, allowing students to answer questions and progress through the game format. Key features include multiple game modes, student-paced gameplay, customizable content, and a free version with premium upgrade options.
Blooket is geared towards students in grades 3-12, but can be adapted for younger students with support. It can be used in a variety of different content areas such as ELA, Science, Social Studies, SEL, and Math.
Example Classroom use of Blooket:
In a 4th-grade math class, the teacher uses a Blooket set with 20 questions to review fractions before a quiz. The teacher launches a “Crypto Hack” game mode, where students compete to collect points by solving problems and guessing secret codes. Students use a game code on their devices to hack other players’ points, adding excitement and strategy. The teacher reviews the results to identify fraction concepts needing further clarification.
Assistive Technology:
ChromeVox is a built-in screen reader for Chrome that reads on-screen text aloud, making digital content accessible for students with visual impairments or reading difficulties. It connects with Blooket, allowing students with low vision, dyslexia, or other reading challenges to independently participate in games. This supports inclusive learning environments by making digital content accessible for all students.
