If you’re not familiar with Kahoot, it’s a free web-based program that allows teachers to pose questions to children who then respond from a selection of answers electronically on their own devices. It records the answer each child gives to a question, as well as how quickly they respond, so teachers can use the data to assess their children. Ultimately, it a fun and engaging tool that can be used to challenge and assess learners.There are different types of Kahoots available; quizzes, surveys, jumbles, discussions and challenges.

What is a Kahoot quiz?
A Kahoot quiz is a series of questions with between two to four multiple-choice answers to choose from. Teachers can create their own quizzes, duplicate and edit others created and shared by other teachers, or simply play Kahoots created by other users.
The questions are presented on screen with text (and an accompanying image if you desire) and children are given an allotted time to respond using their smart device or computer. Kahoot allocates each multiple-choice answer a colour and shape which children see on their own devices and select by clicking/tapping on them. Questions and answers can be set to randomise each time the Kahoot is played meaning the same quiz can be used again without worrying that children will simply memorise the order of questions and answers.

Children receive up to 1000 points depending on the speed with which they respond correctly and a leaderboard displays the top 5 scoring players. Each individual receives discrete feedback of where they rank within the classroom. Teachers may or may not like this feature, but personally I have found it to be a useful tool for motivating the children I have worked with. Children receive instant feedback when all participants have answered - a red screen for an incorrect answer or a green screen for a correct response. I have chosen to embed a behaviour in the children I work with to show their screens to me as soon as they receive feedback. This highlights which children have gaps in their learning so that I can offer support where it is needed or which children need further challenge as the lesson progresses.
