We started using Kahoot! for onboarding quizzes and it completely changed the energy in the room. People who normally zone out during training were leaning forward trying to top the leaderboard. The team mode and the variety of question types kept every session fresh, and setup was incredibly quick. Genuinely the best engagement tool we have adopted.
Brilliant for live training, fun and fast to set up
Kahoot! transformed my classroom reviews into something kids actually beg for, with the music and leaderboard creating real excitement. Building a quiz takes minutes and the question bank speeds things up. The only catch is that with thirty phones connecting at once, a weak school wifi can cause a few players to drop mid-game.
Energises the classroom, quick to build quizzes
Needs reliable wifi for big groups
I run weekly Kahoot! quizzes for my team training and engagement is through the roof compared to slides. The game-based format makes even dry material competitive and fun. My gripe is that the free plan limits the number of players, which pushed me towards a paid tier sooner than expected.
Huge engagement, easy to run live
Player limits on the free plan
Using Kahoot! for end-of-topic quizzes keeps my Year 6 class genuinely focused, and they cheer when a Kahoot starts. The ready-made quizzes from other teachers save loads of prep time. I would like more detailed per-student reports without needing the higher subscription, but the core experience is excellent.
Strong engagement, shareable ready-made quizzes
Detailed reports need a paid plan
Kahoot! is the one app every teacher in our school swears by. The moment that countdown music starts, even my quietest students light up and compete. Creating quizzes is effortless, you can drop in images and videos, and the post-game report shows exactly which questions tripped the class up. Pure classroom gold.
Effortless to create, incredible student engagement
