![]() Hidden within Quizlet‘s excellent flash card system is a little-known activity called Quizlet Live. As with most quiz-based systems, there’s a searchable database of quizzes that other teachers have made – saving you tons of preparation time. This could be done in quick succession within a lesson (most of the game modes are exactly seven minutes long) or you could even play the same questions but in different game modes over a series of lessons. This can cause excellent knowledge recall and understanding to take place, especially after three or four attempts. The main reason why Blooket is number one on my list is that you can replay the same multiple choice questions with the students but in different game modes. In this sense, Tower Defense is more similar to the kind of computer games that children are playing in their free time than all of the other game modes provided. On this map, the students must place towers in strategic positions to shoot enemies that appear on-screen. In this mode, the students answer multiple choice questions and are then presented with a map. Tower Defense: According to Blooket themselves, this is their most popular game.It gets very competitive and you can expect to hear a lot of laughter in the classroom as this gets going! Players can also ‘plunder’ other players’ fish and steal their poundage. Players are ranked by the weight of fish they pull out of the water. What they pull out are usually different types of fish, but they can pull out junk and other crazy objects too. Fishing Frenzy: This one’s a bit crazy – hilariously so! Students, again, answer multiple choice questions but this time they cast a virtual fishing line into the water after answering correctly.A correct guess allows the player to hack the other player and steal imaginary crypto currency from them. After answering a series of questions correctly the students are then able to guess fellow students’ passwords (passwords are chosen from a pre-determined list that the game provides). Crypto Hack: With a dark theme and Bitcoin-centric atmosphere, Crypto Hack is one of the students’ favorites.I’ve only recently discovered Blooket but, I have to tell you: I’m already hooked!īlooket distinguishes itself from other quiz-based apps in that there are actually ten types of game that you can play with the students (at the time of writing), all based on the much-loved multiple-choice quiz format. They are fun, easy to use and are great for reviewing prior knowledge. What follows next is a list of the top five apps that I use on a regular basis with my students in my high school science classes. ![]() For the teacher, there’s the added benefit that games created by other teachers from around the world are often freely available to use on these platforms – saving you tons of preparation time. One big positive that we can attribute to these apps is that they have become very easy to use, and quick to set up – often requiring the students to simply type in a code on a website to begin the game. Quiz-based apps, however, are unique in that they have finally allowed teachers to bring a healthy level of technology-driven rivalry into the remote, hybrid and traditional classrooms. Children love competition – be that through sports, online gaming, traditional learning games, puzzles or even the drive to acquire more house points/plus points than their peers.
