"Make learning awesome together!"
Kahoot! is a digital tool you can create motivating quizzes, surveys, puzzles and discussions with. You can create them yourself and use them in your own classroom. Your students only need a mobile device, like their own smartphones. You can find Kahoot! online:
Kahoot! is a free tool that can be used by everyone - you have to register, but it's all for free. As a teacher you can create one of the four mentioned options - quiz, survey, puzzle, discussion. After you finished creating your Kahoot! game, a code is shown - this is your game code. It can be entered by your students together with a nickname either in the Kahoot! app, or in their browser on the Kahoot! website (www.kahoot.it). To play Kahoot! in class you either need a beamer or an interactive whiteboard, all in all a big screen, where the questions and the answer options are displayed - your students can only see the different symbols, which represent the answer options on their phones. They can now choose their answer, get direct feedback if it was the right one and when all students have answered, the results of the whole class can be shown on the big screen immediately.
Kahoot! games can be used for every class and subject. You can either specify the game for your classes, or create general ones which can be used more than once. In the EFL classroom, Kahoot! can especially be used for vocabulary quizzes but also for introducing a new topic or a new lesson.
