How to create a Kahoot! game.

Hi everyone! Today, I want to show you how to create a FUN quiz using Kahoot! If you haven't had a chance to read my previous post, you can check it out {HERE}. It shows how to play Kahoot! with your class. This post will focus on creating the game.

To get started, you need to create you FREE account at GetKahoot.com. Below is a snapshot of their homepage. Click on the large purple box at the bottom to sign up.

Once you have your account, log in. Your screen will look as it does in the photo below. There are 3 types of Kahoots you can make. You can make a quiz, discussion, or survey. I'll focus on the quiz for today. Under where it says "Create new Kahoot!", click Quiz.

Next, name your quiz and click Go!

Time to start with the questions! In the box next to "Question 1", type in your question. You may choose to add an image in the large gray box in the middle by clicking "choose image" and adding one from your computer. 

You can also adjust how much time the students have to answer the questions by clicking the time dropdown menu next to the question. You can select anywhere from 20 to 120 seconds.

You can also choose to have each question worth points, or no points. This can be done in the dropdown menu under the question box. (See picture below) I typically choose no points. I am not 100% certain what the formula is to get the point total for each student, but I know it has something to do with how quickly they answer the questions. In most of my quizzes, how fast they do the question isn't important to me.

Now, you can enter answer choices. You can have up to 4 choices per question. Once you enter all 4 choices, make sure you click on the answer that is correct! You'll know you have done this by seeing a green "Correct" box under the answer. It will not allow you to move on without selecting a correct answer.

When you're ready to do the next question, simply click "Add Question" and start the same process again.

When you are done with all of your questions, click "Save & Continue".You'll be asked a few questions about your quiz. Here, you can write a brief description of your quiz and what topics it covers. You can also add tags. Tags are keywords that others may type in to find a quiz on the same topic. Keep it public so that your students may join the game. When you're finished, click "Save & Continue".

The final step is to add an image to your quiz. It's not necessary, but you have the option.
