Usage
From Kahoot! CEO and Co-Founder Johan Brand:
Kahoot! is now uniquely positioned to unlock the potential of millions of new learners, by giving them the platform to create & discovery relevant learning material. Content that is contextual and personal at it's core. We all know that if you want to empower people to reach their deepest potential, you enable them to learn and become leaders. This is the foundation of our pedagogy and existence. We share this belief with educators and learners globally.
Usage
Kahoot! is typically used for formative assessment, to monitor each student’s progress towards learning objectives, identify strengths and weaknesses, and to identify areas where the students would benefit from more one-to-one teaching, more challenging learning opportunities, or a review of foundational knowledge for that subject.
More experienced users also integrate kahoots into their curriculum to introduce new topics, increase retention of new facts, revise prior to exams, challenge classrooms around the world, survey opinions, gather insights, facilitate discussion, or to reward and re-energize learners.
The majority of Kahoot!’s users are students and teachers in K-12 classrooms, with growing numbers across colleges and universities and post-graduate education. Businesses also use Kahoot! for workplace training and staff inductions.

Creators also have the option of duplicating one of the 3 million public kahoots created by other users, and adapting it for their own classroom.
2.Play. Kahoots are best played in a group setting, like a classroom.Players answer on their own devices. Players answer on their own devices, while games are displayed on a shared screen to unite the lesson – creating a ‘campfire moment’ – encouraging players to look up.
3.Share. Social learning promotes discussion and pedagogical impact ...whether players are in the same room or on the other side of the globe! After a game, encourage players to create or share their own kahoots to deepen understanding, mastery and purpose.
Inspiring Ways to
Play Kahoot!
Did you know that there are hundreds of ways to
play Kahoot!?
1. Blind Kahoot!’ing
A powerful way to introduce new concepts, Blind Kahoot!’ing is all about
building knowledge brick by brick in a single game.
In essence, rather than teaching the content and then using Kahoot! to recap,
you’ll be asking the toughest review questions first, before you’ve even begun
teaching that content. This switches learners into very active ‘questioning’
mode, the perfect mindset for learning something new.
2.Connected Kahoot!
What is Connected Kahoot!’ing? Using screen sharing or live streaming tools to loop
in players from anywhere in the world, Connected Kahoot!’ing is all about enjoying social learning without borders.
3.Ghost Mode
What is Ghost Mode, anyway? Designed to challenge learners to beat previous Kahoot! scores, Ghost Mode is all about motivation, healthy competition, and reinforcing learning
through fun repetition. Ghost Mode allows learners to compete against their previous scores, which appear as ghosts on the scoreboard. By sharing the kahoot’s Ghost Mode link, learners can also challenge other people to play against their ghosts.
4.Learners to Leaders.
What is Learners to Leaders?
One of the most rewarding experiences is seeing learners take the reins, using
their knowledge and resourcefulness to create and lead their own kahoots. We
call this “Learners to Leaders”.
Our ‘Learners to Leaders’ approach works with learners of any age – whether they
are kindergarten children learning their ABCs or adults learning a new coding language.
