Characteristics:

With Kahoot!, educators can quickly create engaging and interactive lessons, asynchronous assignments, content review sessions, and formative assessments. Enhanced with opt-in AI tools, Kahoot! helps teachers reduce prep time while facilitating active and collaborative learning. Educators can gauge students’ understanding and boost knowledge retention with Kahoot! sessions, even without student devices. New and updated features also make it easier to ensure that learning is aligned with the curriculum, accessible for all students, and protects students’ and educators’ privacy.

  • Make learning sessions more collaborative and inclusive with new device-free experiences – Designed for classrooms with limited access to devices or where educators wish to reduce screen time, these two new game experiences enable all students to participate in the joyful competitive experience of a Kahoot! session, without requiring personal devices. This keeps students’ eyes up and focused on peer engagement, strengthening connection and a sense of community in the classroom.
  • Classic: Unplugged adapts the classic Kahoot! experience, only displaying the questions on one classroom screen or teacher’s device. Students are prompted to discuss and decide on an answer as a class or in teams, which the teacher submits.
  • In Team Tiles: Unplugged, teams of students take turns choosing a tile from a digital tileboard on a shared screen. Each flipped tile reveals a new question for the teams to answer together, and the teacher submits their answer on the shared device.
  • Create and discover curriculum and standards-aligned learning content – It is now easier than ever to create and find ready-made learning content aligned with specific curriculums and standards on Kahoot!. With a Kahoot! EDU site license, U.S. educators can tag learning content with national curriculum standards and state standards for all 50 U.S. states, as well as search for publicly available learning content on Kahoot! by curriculum standard.
  • Ensure accessible and inclusive learning for every student – Kahoot! offers a range of features designed for accessibility and inclusive learning. These include features to support special education, as well as flexible features that enable differentiation and personalization for students with varied learning needs. For example, educators can give students extended time accommodations by hosting a Kahoot! session in Accuracy experience, awarding points only for accuracy, not speed. Kahootopia, in which students complete kahoots to grow a digital class island together, also encourages inclusive learning by celebrating shared class achievement.
  • Protect students’ personal data in their digital learning experiences – With a Data Privacy Certification by 1EdTech and a verified privacy seal from Common Sense Privacy, Kahoot! is strongly committed to protecting students’ personal data. On Kahoot!, there are no ads, no data selling, and no third-party ads tracking, and students can participate by scanning a QR code or an anonymous game pin. Kahoot!’s Trust Center provides transparency in its data policies and practices, and account holders can control their data usage. Admins can also control which AI features to enable, with guidance to protect users’ personal information.
  • Boost student motivation for asynchronous classwork with Kahootopia! Assignments – In Kahootopia!, students work together to grow a digital class island by completing kahoots and earning shared achievements. Kahootopia! Assignments now brings this powerful learning experience to asynchronous work. As students independently complete a Kahootopia! Assignment, they earn achievements for the class island. This not only motivates students to complete asynchronous assignments, as they see the impact of their individual contributions; it also encourages collaboration, teamwork, and belonging by celebrating students’ shared accomplishments.
  • Support multilingual classrooms with Kahoot! Language Learning – Educators teaching language classes or classes with diverse language needs can help students improve their skills through playful, interactive learning content with Kahoot! Language Learning. Choose from over 50 languages, and build essential vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation skills through game-based lessons at students’ own pace.
  • Create and edit kahoots directly inside ChatGPT with Kahoot!’s new integration –With the new Kahoot! ChatGPT app, educators and students can create interactive and engaging Kahoot! sessions within their ChatGPT conversations, without having to switch between apps. Free and available to all ChatGPT users, the app makes it easy to turn existing teaching and study materials – including PDFs, articles, study notes, and ideas – into kahoots in minutes. Users can then review the questions and ask ChatGPT to make changes as needed, such as adjusting the questions’ difficulty level or translating them to another language, before opening the finished learning content in Kahoot!.

“I used to hate making review materials, but the PDF to Kahoot! feature changed everything. Now I just upload a PDF and my review is ready in under a minute. And with microlesson mode, I can even quick explanations during the game. They are perfect for students who miss the review class.”

Denise Moraes
English Language teacher, Brazil

“The students I taught using Kahoot! scored 72% proficient in reading, while my co-workers who didn’t scored lower than 50% on the state tests. I believe this difference is largely due to using Kahoot! and being able to implement data-driven instruction based on student performance.”
