Kahoot!
Despite our best efforts, our classroom activities can often become monotonous. As teachers we tend to use our favorite activities over and over to introduce vocabulary, share student writing samples, and review grammar structures. Since most of our students now have a smart phone with them at all times, why not put them to use in the language classroom?
Kahoot allows you to design games, surveys, and activities for your class that they can access on their phones by entering a code. Students can choose a pseudonym and then type in their answers. All of the class responses will pop up on the main screen as well as their phones. This opens up many new possibilities for checking homework, reviewing vocabulary terms, or assessing comprehension.
