Let the Games Begin Tools
Quizizz
Quizizz is an alternative to Kahoot, and there's also a lot for educators to like. It is very similar to Kahoot, with a few key differences. Just like Kahoot, the teacher (or student host) chooses a quiz to begin.
Kahoot
A Kahoot is a collection of questions on specific topics. Created by teachers, students, business-people and social users, they are asked in real-time, to an unlimited number of “players”, creating a social, fun and game-like learning environment.
Quizalize
Quizalize is a student and teacher friendly site that allows users to quickly and efficiently assess their knowledge on content and analytical skills.
Quizlet
Quizlet provides free study tools for students, teachers, and learners of all ages that can be used in and out of the classroom, on your own or with friends, and on the go with our iOS and Android apps.

Quizlet Live
Teams of students work together, racing to learn the material in a Quizlet study set. Correct answers move teams ahead, but wrong answers send teams back to zero.
Socrative
Socrative is a cloud-based student response system developed in 2010 by Boston-based graduate school students. It allows teachers to create simple quizzes that students can take quickly on laptops – or, more often, via classroom tablet computers or their own smartphones.
