Kahoot is a widely used tool for all types of review, including vocabulary. Kahoot is generally quick to set up and execute, but for the easiest implementation, choose a pre-made quiz. There are hundreds of quizzes that were made by other teachers, so you will most likely be able to find one to get you started. The existing quizzes can be saved and updated with your own content, so even if you find one that's "close" to what you need, you can customize it. However, making your own is a breeze! 

Quizlet is like Kahoot, in that it has a 'live' mode that can be played as a whole group competition, but it is also a powerful independent study tool. Teachers and students can build units for any subject that contain several different study modes for students to access individually.
