A game of Kahoot! is typically initiated by educators as a way to gain rich insights about their classroom, through formative assessment or reviews. However, we are continually blown away by the huge number of alternative ways our community play Kahoot! to capture the hearts and minds of learners - with a focus on mastery and helping learners realise their deepest potential. As you may not have thought of these - we thought we’d share some!
1. Introduce a new concept or topic
Rather than doing a quick assessment, many Kahooters throw away PowerPoint and play a game to introduce new information at the start of a topic - often spending a whole lesson Kahooting.
2. Reinforce knowledge
We often hear our community say “My students begged for more!”. By turning on the ‘Randomise order of questions?’ and ‘Randomise order of answers in questions?’ options on the orange launch screen at the start of a game, you can reinforce learning by playing the same Kahoot multiple times! This ensures the focus is on the right/wrong answers rather than remembering the placement of the correct one(s)
3. Encourage reflection and peer-led discussion
One of the most powerful things that happens during a game of Kahoot! is the new dynamics that occur between players. Often students who have never spoken before will bond or debate over a new-found shared passion or opinion, triggered by the ranking on the leaderboard or who they’re currently trying to catch!
4. Challenge learners to make their own Kahoots
Have you adopted our ‘Learners to Leaders’ pedagogy? By encouraging students to make Kahoots to challenge the class or play against one another outside of school, you can help initiate deep research and critical thinking on the subjects that inspire them the most! This allows you to play their game, and watch them become leaders as they discuss topics most important to them.
