Kahoot.it
Kahoot is a web-based game that is fully customizable and has commonly been used by teachers in nearly every grade level and content area, although I could see it used best from grades 2-12. The game itself is very user friendly and easy to play on iPads and Chromebooks alike. Students at the high school level also have enjoyed playing on their mobile devices.
My favorite part about Kahoot is the data generated by the game following a round of play. You have the option to download an Excel spreadsheet that shows each student's name and how they answered each question. This allows teachers to adjust lessons and review content if needed.
