Kahoot

✰✰✰✰✰

Best For: Phase 1+

Description: Kahoot is a great online tool to revise vocabulary. Teachers can create quizzes for students to complete or get the students to make their own. This is a great way to end a lesson (10-15mins depending on the amount of questions). The teacher controls the quiz from their computer and projects it onto the board. Each student logs in on their individual computer/ipad/phone (or in groups) with the game pin. Students are given points for correct answers and a ranking of the students who got the correct answer the fastest is shown after each question. This activity is great as it provides the teacher with a breakdown of what percentage of the class got the question right instantly. This means that concepts that the students are unclear about can be discussed on the spot. The teacher can also look at the statistics after class and see exactly which students got questions incorrect and what their responses were.

Ranking: I give this activity 5 out of 5 stars for student engagement as well providing direct feedback to the teacher.
