Before launching Kahoot with my class for math, we reviewed some expectations and etiquette. This was the first time that many of them had used Kahoot. They stated that they were more familiar with a similar platform called Blooket. I used Kahoot quite a bit in previous years with upper elementary students to review material and I remember them loving it. I also remember Kahoot appearing more user friendly "back in the day" but when I took the time to explore, it looks like it has more to offer now. I never used to rely on others' Kahoot games that were already created, but why reinvent the wheel? There are tons of great Kahoot games that are ready to be used. After searching through some, I found a bunch of great games that were already created by other users.
I used one that focused on equivalent fractions for our math practice time. The kids loved that it was a change from their typical SeeSaw or IXL activity. I think they really enjoyed that it was a class game vs an independent activity. This allowed for friendly competition in our room. The kids were asking how to create their own games to play with one another during their recess time. I'd say it was pretty successful!
