Go to http://tinyurl.com/TPTUNIT3QUIZ This is a public quiz.
Press the “Classic” (individual players) or “Team Mode” button. Your screen will display the instructions for how to join (kahoot.it) and Game PIN.
Ask students to get their devices ready. They can use any device with a web browser -- phone, tablet or laptop. Students don’t need an account to join.
Project your screen. At this point you should have your device (laptop or tablet) connected to the projector or screen for your students to see. Your screen will display the game pin and instructions for how to join. Students will visit kahoot.it and they will be prompted to enter the game pin, followed by a nickname. Their nickname will appear on the screen at the front as they join the game.
Once everyone has joined the game, click the ‘Start’ button on the right. The game will then load with an “Are you ready?” message. The first question will then be projected.
Click the ‘Next’ button to move through the game. Only the question will be projected at first, then the answer options will appear and the timer counts down. On the student’s devices, they will see answer buttons that correspond to the answers displayed on the projected screen. Each option is differentiated by a color/shape. The question finishes when everyone has answered or the time has run out. Then the correct answer and results are automatically displayed. The faster students answer correctly, the more points they get. The top 5 players are displayed on the projected screen in between each question.
Once you get to the final question, press the purple ‘End’ button to display the winner! The winner’s nickname is displayed on the projected screen.

Kahoot! Tips

Nicknames: Set rules for your students when selecting nicknames. If they join with an inappropriate nickname, you can remove them from the game.
Discussion: While playing Kahoot, you’re students may become louder than normal, but this is a good thing - they’ll be talking about the content you’re teaching - encourage it! Because you click ‘Next’ to move through the game, you can pause at any time to discuss a question and answer in more detail.
Devices and Access: Remind students that they may miss questions if their device goes to sleep. If this happens, Kahoot! will automatically allow them to jump back in on the next question. If your students temporarily drop out of a game due to a slow network, Kahoot! will automatically try to get them back in on the next question.
Sound: Turn the volume up for questions - it adds to the excitement!
