Kahoot!: A Game-Based Classroom Response SystemAlicia Ray, Media SpecialistFlat Rock Elementary School
Learning Target
I can create discussions, polls, and
quizzes using Kahoot!
I can access student
responses for data analysis.
Criteria for Success
I will create a discussion, poll,
or quiz using Kahoot! to increase student
engagement in my classroom.
What is Kahoot!?O Kahoot: A collection of questions on
a specific topic
O These questions can be put together as a survey, discussion, or quiz.
O The survey, discussion, or quiz can be accessed by any internet-capable device!
What’s not to love?K-2
O Bright, color- & shape-coded responses
O Ability to input videoO Control pace of gameO All kids understand a
leaderboard!
O Friendly competitionO Control pace of gameO Thought-provoking
discussionsO Instant feedbackO Use analysis for math
centers & flex groups

Let’s see what it looks like!
OOn a laptop, go to kahoot.it
OOn iPad/iPod, there is NO download in the App Store – open kahoot.it in your browser, then Add to Home Screen
SURVEY
O Great for graphs, first day of school, debates, introduction to lessons
O There is no “right” answer!
Create as many survey questions as you would like, with up to four answers in
each. Use these answers to create
graphs in the classroom, or use it to
give students a chance for
metacognition and reflection. See my
example of A Few of My Favorite Things
.
DISCUSSION
O Great for debates, discussion, Kagan activities, project based learning
O There may or may not be a “right” answer.
Create one question, then allow students 5-
120 seconds to answer. Keep in mind,
there will be discussion time before choosing an answer.
You may add an image/video to your question. See my
example of Newton's First Law of Motion.
QUIZ
O Great for quick quiz, formative assessment, review, pre & posttest analysis, etc.
O There is a “right” answer.
Create as many quiz questions as you
would like, with up to four answers in each. This could be used to input answers from a test (much like Smart Response), or even
better, to give a quick quiz using technology. See my example of Multiplication by 7.
