Community Review for Kahoot!
My Take
Much like cooking a Thanksgiving dinner, it takes quite some time to make a Kahoot game, but only a few minutes to enjoy before it's over. Kahoot games DO take some time to set up. In order for Kahoot to work, your students will need access to devices and wifi. At my school, we have an iPad cart we share, but if students have their own phones, tablets, etc., they can connect to a Kahoot game. Designing a Kahoot game to use before and after instruction of a unit would be a fun way to gather data on both ends.
How I Use It
As a review for our unit on the Native American tribes of California, I created a Kahoot game. My kids were totally engaged!

Not very helpfull without pro version
It is a good learning tool, very intuitive and easy to use. On the other hand, they constantly decrease the character limit or functionalities for free users. Overall, the app is not so financially inclusive for lower income students. Have a nice day

Engaging, interactive review
Kahoot! helps student practice fast-paced recall as they race to be the first to answer correctly, giving them points and pushing them higher up on the leaderboard. Kahoot! also forces teachers to manually move on to the next question, giving them a chance to discuss the question and/or take student questions. Additionally, Kahoot!'s leaderboard displays the top 5 players after each question, but does not expose the positions of students lower, and even provides an anonymous player option if teachers wish to use this feature. Kahoot! consistently provides an engaging form of learning and review for students.

Engaging way to review and study!
Kahoot is a brilliant platform for students, especially when reviewing a lesson learned or studying for a test. It essentially is an interactive group study session, where teachers and educators can personalize their own Kahoots to fit into their lesson plans. It's free, easy-to-use, and kids love it! As a middle schooler, we were introduced to Kahoot and I still think it's one of the best ways to review for a test in a fun, stress-free way--giving kids the opportunity to apply what they learned in a competitive game.
