Kahoot Guide to Creating Engaging and Fun Learning Games

By Med Kharbach, PhD | Last Update: May 11, 2024

Kahoot

Kahoot is a game-based learning website that allows teachers and students to create, explore, and play a wide variety of educational games. Like other game-based tools such as Quizalize ,  Blooket,   Quizizz , and Quizlet , Kahoot uses the learning principles of gamification to render learning fun, engaging, and accessible to learners from different backgrounds and age groups. 

Kahoot is simple and easy to use and its games can be played on any device. Students are not even required to login to play Kahoot games. They can simply join using the shared PIN code.

Kahoots are  games and challenges you create using the tools provided by the platform. Your kahoots can embed various types of questions and answers. They can include media materials such as videos and images, and many more.  

Kahoots can be hosted live in class (Teach mode) or be assigned as self-paced learning challenges that students can play at their own pace (Assign mode). After kahoots are completed, teachers can access insights and stats on students performance and  identify learning difficulties.

Teachers use Kahoot for various educational purposes. Whether you teach in class, online, or you use a hybrid form of content delivery, Kahoot can help you enhance students motivation, increase their engagement, and boost their learning. Kahoot is also a great student-response system to use in formative assessment . According to Kahoot Teacher’s Starter Guide , teachers use Kahoot to:

  • “Introduce new topics.
  • Review content at class and home.
  • Engage students via distance learning.
  • Run formative assessment.
  • Teach interactive lessons.
  • Break the ice and reward the class.
  • Collect student opinions.
  • Foster creativity and teamwork.
  • Engage colleagues with professional development.”

The purpose of this post is to help teachers, educators, and parents, especially those new to Kahoot, discover the different features and services that this platform offers.  I believe that Kahoot has a huge educational potential if we leverage it the right way. Kahoot games are so much fun to play but the fun part is not an end in and of itself but should be regarded as a means to effective learning. 

A quick note on the terminology before you start reading the review. The word Kahoot is spelt in two ways: When it is used in its capitalized form ‘Kahoot’ it refers to the platform or website, and when it is used in small letter ‘kahoot’ it refers to games created using the Kahoot platform. 

Here are some of the main features provided by Kahoot:

1- Kahoot groups

Groups is a relatively new feature in Kahoot and is currently open to educators only. Teachers can easily create groups and invite their colleagues to join and share their kahoots with each other. As the admin of the group, you have full control over the privacy of the group. 

Kahoot (educatorstechnology.com)

To create a group, log in to your Kahoot account and click on ‘Groups’ then select ‘Create groups’. Type in a name and description for your group and hit ‘Create’. Next, click on ‘Invite members’ to start inviting others to your group.

You can add members by Kahoot username or email, or you can use the generated invite code to share with them. Click on ‘Group settings’ to edit options regarding who can share content to the group, whether to allow members to invite others to the group, and whether to make the list of members visible to the whole group or not. 

Kahoot create group (educatorstechnology.com)

2- How to create a Kahoot

To create your first Kahoot, log in to your account and click on ‘Create kahoot’. You can use  Kahoot’ s pre-made templates or start a new kahoot from scratch. There are six awesome kahoot templates which you can customize to your liking.

These are: Kahoot for formative assessment, Spark discussions with polls, Teach with slides, Practice spelling and adjectives with puzzle, Introduce new topics with a ‘Blind’ kahoot, and a Template inspired by a higher ed instructor. To start a new kahoot from scratch click on ‘New kahoot’. 

Kahoot log in (educatorstechnology.com)

Type in your questions, provide answer alternatives, and mark the correct answers. Use the left hand panel to set a time limit for your questions (minimum 5 seconds and maximum 4 minutes) and assign points. 

There are various question types to choose from: quiz, true or false, poll, puzzle, open ended, and many more. The question editor also includes a math equation editor allowing you to insert different mathematical symbols into your questions.

For answers, you can choose between Single select (players can only select one of the answers) and Multi-select (they can choose multiple answers before submitting). 

To make your kahoots inclusive and accessible to all types of learners, make sure you enrich them with media materials. Simply click on the “+” button  in the middle of the page or drag and drop an image to upload.

You can insert images, GIFs, and videos. Use Kahoot’ s search functionality to search for media in their library. Only premium subscribers have unlimited access to images and GIFs. 

Once your first question is set, you can duplicate it or click on ‘Add question’ to add more questions. You can preview your kahoot before you share it by clicking on Preview on the top right corner. When you are done, click on Save then provide a descriptive title to your kahoot and a short description.

Now that your kahoot is created, you can test it, play it, or share it with others. There are various sharing options to choose from: share directly on social media, via email, share it to Google Classroom or Remind, or use the generated code. 

3- How to host a kahoot (Teach mode)

As a teacher, you can engage students in playing live kahoots either in class or over video. This is a great way to drive group discussions, evaluate students engagement in the learning process, and boost collaborative teamwork in class.

Kahoots played in class are displayed on a shared screen for every student to view. Using their computers or mobile devices, students can easily join in the live game. 

To host a live kahoot in class: First choose the kahoot you want to host then click on ‘Play’ and select ‘Teach’ mode. Next, adjust game settings. For instance, you can choose between Player vs Player mode or Team vs Team mode. In the earlier, students will go head-to-head using their own devices; in the latter, they will gather around a shared device or use their own personal devices. 

Some of the game options you can work on include : randomize order of questions and answers, show minimized intro instructions, add music, use Personalized Learning (i.e., let players practice difficult questions after the live game), use Friendly nickname generator (i.e., to avoid inappropriate nicknames in the game), and many more.

“By default, questions are displayed on a shared screen, while students tap answer tiles on their devices. If you’d like students to see questions and answer alternatives on their devices (for example, if you have a large classroom or students are joining remotely), toggle this setting on: Show question and answers on players’ devices.” After the game is completed, you can access the Reports page to view results and to assess students performance.

How to assign kahoots to students (Assign mode)

Unlike Teach mode, the Assign mode allows students to play kahoots at their own pace. Self-paced kahoots can be used as homework assignments, a way to extend learning beyond the classroom. 

Here is how to assign a learner-paced kahoot: Open the kahoot you want to host for your students and click on Play and select Assign. Set a deadline for students to complete the kahoot and work on the other options there.

When you are done, click on Create and grab the generated link and share it with your students (e.g., through email, Google Classroom, Remind, Microsoft Teams, etc.), or you can share the PIN of the kahoot. Again, when students complete the challenge, you can access results in Reports section.

Create courses on Kahoot 

You can create courses on Kahoot by linking a series of kahoots that can be easily assigned to students. Courses allow you to “link a series of kahoots and assign them to learners as a course”. Courses also enable you to “track progress with detailed course reports, send reminders, and edit content to match learners’ needs.”. 

To create a course, log in to your account and  click ‘Create course’. Provide a title for your course and a short description and choose whether you want to make it public or private. You can also add a cover image then click on ‘Create’. Next add Kahoots to your course, use the search box to search for kahoots. You can add up to 10 kahoots.

Kahoot Library

Kahoot library embeds over 100 million public ready-to-use kahoots for you to choose from. You can use these kahoots as inspiration for your future kahoots or you can use them with your own students. You can also duplicate and edit these kahoots to suit your own teaching needs. 

To search for pre-made kahoots, click on Discovery and use the search bar to initiate your search. Type in few keywords and phrases and use filters (e.g., Subject, Grade Level, etc) to find specific kahoots. Alternatively, you can access featured kahoots such as collections by verified educators and premium partners. 

You can also check Top picks to view featured kahoots curated weekly by Kahoot’s editorial team. When you find kahoots you are interested in, you can add them to your list of Favourites, play them right away, or duplicate them so that you can edit them later.

Reports is the section in your Kahoot account where you can view stats about your students performance and track their progress. For instance, in the Summary part, you will access insights on how many students took part in the kahoot, how many of them provided answers, which questions were the most difficult, which students need help, and many more. 

In the Question view, you will be able to uncover where learning difficulties occur during the play, learn the correct overall percentage of the question, how long it took students to answer questions, and many more.

Finally, there is also Kahoot Academy , a service that I reviewed in a previous post here in educatorstechnology.com. Check it out to learn more. 

Kahoot offers different subscription plans (Plus, Pro, Premium, and Premium+) with Kahoot Premium+ as the plan with most features including up to 2000 players per game compared to 50 players in Plus, 100 in Pro, and 200 in Premium.

Here’s a way to use Kahoot to explore topics more deeply. Break questions into multiple sections. Begin by asking kids to explain how they’ll come up with the answer. Give them more time to think, and don’t assign any points for this question. Then, follow that up with a question asking for the answer itself, in a shorter amount of time. Find out more from Mathy Cathy.

Encourage improvement with Ghost mode

She found kids were more engaged and truly had a better grasp of the topic.

Introduction

Welcome to the world of Kahoot! If you’re a teacher or a trainer looking for an interactive and engaging way to assess your students or participants, then Kahoot is the perfect tool for you. Kahoot is an online platform that allows you to create fun and educational quizzes, surveys, and discussions. It’s a great way to make learning and training more interactive, enjoyable, and effective.

In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of assigning a Kahoot to your students or participants. Whether you want to assess their knowledge, test their understanding, or facilitate a discussion, Kahoot provides you with the tools to create exciting and interactive learning experiences.

Assigning a Kahoot is a straightforward process that involves creating a Kahoot, customizing it according to your needs, adding questions, and ultimately launching it for your students or participants to access. Throughout the process, you’ll have the ability to monitor their progress, gather insights, and provide real-time feedback.

So, let’s dive in and uncover the step-by-step process of assigning a Kahoot!

Step 1: Sign in to Kahoot

The first step to assigning a Kahoot is signing in to your Kahoot account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can easily create one by visiting the Kahoot website and clicking on the “Sign up” button. Once you have your account ready, follow these simple steps:

  • Open your preferred web browser and go to the Kahoot website.
  • Click on the “Log in” button located at the top right corner of the page.
  • Enter your login credentials, including your username or email address and password.
  • Click on the “Log in” button to access your Kahoot account.

After successfully logging in, you will be redirected to your Kahoot dashboard, where you can manage your existing Kahoots, create new ones, and access various features and settings.

Signing in to your Kahoot account ensures that you have full control and access to all the features and functionalities the platform has to offer. It also allows you to save and manage the Kahoots you create, track student progress, and provide valuable feedback.

Now that you are logged in, let’s move on to the next step of creating a new Kahoot!

Step 2: Create a new Kahoot

Once you’ve signed in to your Kahoot account, it’s time to create a new Kahoot. Creating a Kahoot is a simple and intuitive process that allows you to customize your quiz or survey according to your desired learning objectives. Follow these steps to get started:

  • From your Kahoot dashboard, click on the “Create” button located at the top right corner of the page.
  • Select the type of Kahoot you want to create. You can choose from a quiz, survey, or discussion.
  • Give your Kahoot a catchy and descriptive title that reflects its content and purpose.
  • Choose a cover image for your Kahoot, or upload your own. This helps in visually representing the topic or theme of your Kahoot.
  • Set a timer for each question if you want to add a bit of urgency or challenge to your Kahoot. You can also choose to disable the timer if you prefer a more relaxed pace.
  • Decide whether you want the questions to be displayed in random order or follow a specific sequence.
  • Click on the “Continue” button to proceed to the next step of customizing your Kahoot.

During the creation process, take your time to think about the learning outcomes you want to achieve and the specific topics or concepts you want to assess. This will help you structure your Kahoot effectively, ensuring that it aligns with your teaching or training goals.

Now that you have created a new Kahoot, let’s move on to the next step of customizing it to suit your needs.

Step 3: Customize your Kahoot

Now that you have created a new Kahoot, it’s time to customize it and make it engaging and interactive for your students or participants. Customizing your Kahoot allows you to add a personal touch, align it with your teaching or training objectives, and create a unique learning experience. Here’s how you can customize your Kahoot:

  • Choose a theme for your Kahoot. Select from a variety of pre-designed themes that Kahoot offers, or create your own custom theme by adding colors, images, and backgrounds.
  • Add an introductory slide to provide context and instructions to your students or participants. This slide can include a brief overview of the Kahoot, rules, or any other information you want to convey.
  • Include media elements in your Kahoot such as images, videos, or audio files. These visual and auditory components can enhance engagement and help illustrate concepts or provide additional information.
  • Personalize the look and feel of your questions by customizing the font, size, and formatting. This allows you to create a visually appealing and cohesive experience.
  • Consider adding question hints to assist students or participants in answering questions. Hints can provide additional clues or prompt critical thinking.
  • Enable the “Automatic Evaluation” feature if you want Kahoot to automatically score the answers and provide immediate feedback. You can also choose to review the answers manually if you prefer.
  • Review and preview your Kahoot to ensure that everything looks and functions as intended.

By customizing your Kahoot, you can create a tailored learning experience for your students or participants, making it more engaging and relevant to their needs. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different customization options and unleash your creativity!

Now that you have customized your Kahoot, let’s move on to the next step of adding questions to it.

Step 4: Add questions to your Kahoot

Now that you have customized the appearance of your Kahoot, it’s time to add questions to make it informative and engaging. The questions you create will test the knowledge, understanding, and critical thinking of your students or participants. Follow these steps to add questions to your Kahoot:

  • Click on the “Add question” button located within your Kahoot editor.
  • Select the type of question you want to add. Kahoot offers multiple question types, including multiple-choice, true/false, image-based, and more.
  • Compose your question by entering the text in the provided field.
  • Add answer options for your question. Depending on the question type, you may have multiple correct answers or just one.
  • Assign point values to each answer option if you want to differentiate between correct and incorrect choices.
  • Consider adding additional information or explanations to the question or answer options if needed.
  • Repeat the process to add more questions to your Kahoot. You can create as many questions as you want.

When adding questions, keep in mind the difficulty level, relevance to the topic, and the learning outcomes you want to achieve. Mix up the question types to provide variety and cater to different learning styles.

Don’t forget to review and proofread your questions to ensure clarity and accuracy. This will help in providing a seamless and error-free learning experience for your students or participants.

Now that you have added questions to your Kahoot, let’s proceed to the next step of assigning it to your students.

Step 5: Assign your Kahoot to students

Now that you have created and customized your Kahoot, it’s time to assign it to your students or participants so they can start engaging with it. Assigning your Kahoot ensures that it reaches the intended audience and allows for seamless participation. Follow these steps to assign your Kahoot:

  • From your Kahoot editor, click on the “Assign” button located at the top right corner of the page.
  • Choose the method of assigning your Kahoot. You can either share it via a unique game pin or by sending a direct link to your students or participants.
  • If you choose to share a game pin, instruct your students or participants to open the Kahoot app or go to the Kahoot website and enter the game pin to access the Kahoot. This method allows for synchronous participation.
  • If you prefer to send a direct link, simply copy the link provided and share it through your preferred communication channels such as email, messaging apps, or learning management systems. This method allows for asynchronous participation.
  • Communicate any additional instructions or guidelines to your students or participants regarding the assigned Kahoot, such as time limits or deadlines.
  • Encourage your students or participants to join the Kahoot and start answering the questions to gauge their knowledge and understanding.

When assigning your Kahoot, consider the best method based on your preferred teaching or training approach, as well as the technological capabilities and resources available to your students or participants.

Now that you have successfully assigned your Kahoot, let’s move on to the next step of monitoring student progress.

Step 6: Monitor student progress

One of the great features of Kahoot is the ability to monitor and track the progress of your students or participants. Monitoring their progress allows you to gain insights into their performance, identify areas where they may need additional support, and provide real-time feedback. Follow these steps to effectively monitor student progress:

  • Access the Reports section in your Kahoot dashboard. Here, you will find detailed information about the performance of your students or participants.
  • Review the summary report, which provides an overview of the overall performance, including the average score, completion rate, and total time taken.
  • Explore the individual reports to get a more detailed analysis of each student’s or participant’s performance. These reports include the questions answered, correct and incorrect answers, response times, and more.
  • Identify any patterns or trends in the data to gain insights into the strengths and weaknesses of your students or participants.
  • Provide feedback and reinforcement based on the performance data. You can offer personalized feedback to individual students or participants or provide general feedback to the entire group.
  • Use the insights gathered from monitoring to tailor future lessons or activities to address any gaps or misconceptions identified.

Monitoring student progress not only helps you understand their learning outcomes but also allows you to celebrate their achievements and provide support when needed. It creates an ongoing feedback loop that enhances the learning experience and promotes continuous improvement.

Now that you are equipped with the knowledge to monitor student progress, you have completed the final step of assigning a Kahoot!

Kahoot provides an excellent platform for creating exciting and engaging quizzes, surveys, and discussions. By customizing your Kahoot with themes, media elements, and personalized questions, you can create a unique learning experience that caters to your teaching or training objectives.

Once you have assigned your Kahoot, the monitoring feature allows you to track the progress of your students or participants. This valuable feedback enables you to identify areas where additional support may be needed and provide timely feedback to enhance their learning outcomes.
