Quizizz Games

 


There are several interactive games online to increase student engagement.  Today, I’m sharing my experience with Quizizz.

Quizizz is less competitive than the others but still has the competition piece. I like that this game can be a more self paced game allowing questions to answer at their own pace.  You can also play as a team which brings in the anonymous factor which I love.  The groups are randomized and I don’t want students to know who is in their group to avoid peer pressure or negative comments if they do poorly.  The anonymous feature assigns all the kids a random and weird name.  The final part I really like is watching their progress bars in real time, which allows we especially while virtual to see whose engaged, who’s struggling, and who’s ready to move on. Similar to other online games, you can download a break down by question after the game to see student results. Similar to other games you can make your own or find ones that are already made and update them to your needs.  Overall, I like Quizizz more for classwork or homework. If you want more information on how to create your own check out the short video below.

Gimkit Don't Look Down

Gimkit came out with a new mode almost a week ago and the students love it.  It's called Don't Look Down.  In this mode, students work to reach the 6 different summits.  Along the way they jump on various objects and test their skills.  This game can teach you about your risk takers and your cautious students.   If you want to add extra excitement, play with your students to see who gets higher.  This is currently the favorite mode for my classes and I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't.
