Classroom quiz games your students will ask for

• Speed points or fixed points. Reward fast correct answers, or give every correct answer the same marks so careful readers aren't punished.
• Streaks. A run of correct answers earns a bonus and keeps attention to the last question.
• Lifelines such as 50:50, on Pro and above, give a struggling student a way back in.
• Team mode. One device per group, with the group name as the nickname.
• Leaderboard off for anxious classes, so the review is about the answers, not the ranking.

Each mechanic has its own switch in the quiz settings.

An exit ticket is two or three questions at the end of a lesson that show what each student understood. Run them as a quick quiz; the report shows the questions most of the class missed, so you know what to reteach tomorrow.

Keep one question on the key idea and one that applies it. See how exit tickets fit a whole lesson in the quiz maker for teachers.

Run an inter-class or inter-school contest in two stages: an online qualifier that every student plays from their own device, then a live final on the hall screen for the top teams. The leaderboard settles the qualifier, and the podium makes the final an occasion. Certificates for every participant are on Pro Plus. See quiz competitions.

Schedule a quiz so each student plays alone between two dates, at their own pace, instead of live in class. Scheduled quizzes collect each student's email so attempts can be matched to the right name in the report. See scheduled quizzes.

A live quiz needs only a nickname: no account, no email and no phone number from students. The teacher, or the school, owns the results. Nobody installs anything, and nothing is left on a student's device after the bell. Read more in the trust centre.
