Online Gameshow Tools for the Classroom
Flippity works with Google sheets and offers the user many different options including flashcards, certificates, random name pickers and gameshow boards. You can pull your information from a Google sheet. It's a great tool to review information in class or have a game-based activity on a literature choice in the library.
Jeopardy Rocks is very similar in style to the other two tools mentioned. Jeopardy Rocks is also "Freemium". Each creator can generate up to three games for free and after that there is a cost. While Jeopardy Rock is a fun option for gameshow activites in class, it is limited by cost. It is easy to use and students will enjoy the television style of the game.
