TECH TIP - QUIZLET LIVE
Quizlet Live is a fun, collaborative review game. Try using it with your small groups to review material!
Quizlet Live is a collaborative, high-energy review game. It’s based on Quizlet, the online flashcards platform that’s been around for years. Students are sorted into groups and work together to answer all 12 questions correctly in a row to win.
Step 1: Pick a flashcard set
There are a couple ways to get started playing Quizlet Live:
1. Create your own flashcard set for your students (or let students create them). When you log in to Quizlet (quizlet.com), click the “Create” button at the top and make a flashcard set.
2. Find an existing Quizlet flashcard set and play the game using it.
Step 2: Load up the game
Once you’ve picked your Quizlet Live flashcard set, it’s time to launch your game.
1. Make sure you’re logged in to Quizlet.
2. Click the “Live” button to launch the game.
Step 3: Students join the game
When the page loads to have students join the game, display that page to students on a projector or large screen.
1. Students use their devices to navigate to www.quizlet.live (yes, that’s a real web address) and enter the code.
2. If they’re using smartphones or mobile devices and have the Quizlet app, they can scan a QR code to join.
3. You need at least four students (two groups of two) to play Quizlet Live.
4. Student names appear below the code as they join the game. (And yes, you can click a student’s name to remove him/her from the game.)
5. TIP: You’ll notice there’s music playing. If you need to turn it off, use the “Options” button in the bottom left to turn it off.
Step 4: Assemble the groups
Once you click the button to create teams, students need to find their partners.
· Students are assigned groups of two, three or four players.
· Each group is given a mascot (an animal like a sea turtle, giraffe, etc.). Students can use their mascots to find others in their groups.
· Note: Before students find their partners, you can click the “Shuffle Teams” button to create new teams. This is helpful if a combination of certain players will cause a distraction or be an unfair advantage to other teams.
Step 5: Play the game!
When the game starts, each student will have a few of the team’s terms on his/her device. The team works together to answer questions correctly.
The team strings together consecutive correct answers. If a team answers all 12 questions correctly (eight if groups of two) in a row — and does it before any other team — that team wins.
If a team gets a question wrong, its consecutive answer streak is broken and they have to start over.
