Kahoot Tools Overview

How it works

Kahoot games can be played live or assigned as self-paced challenges.

1. Hosting a game: A host (e.g., a teacher or presenter) displays the game questions on a shared screen, such as a classroom projector or through a video conference.

2. Joining the game: Players join by visiting kahoot.it on their own device (smartphone, tablet, or computer) and entering a unique game PIN.

3. Answering questions: As questions and multiple-choice answers appear on the main screen, players select their answers on their personal device.

4. Scoring and competition: Points are awarded for both speed and accuracy. At the end of each round, a leaderboard displays the top players, adding a competitive element.
