Blooket – Blooket Join a Live Game and Play

There are by now tons of online games for students that are both engaging and educating. From the likes of Kahoot, Gimkit, SplashLearn, Quizlet and many more. All of these games come with varied features and engagement, all geared towards educating and engaging the mind of the player.

In all the games we have reviewed none is more engaging than Blooket. You can look through our review of Kahoot, Quizlet, and Gimkit.

As an educator I highly recommend Blooket. From my experience, I found this game more engaging to the student to the point that they beg to play it over and over again, no matter what subject we’re studying or how difficult it is. Their desire to play Blooket and give their best is not only commendable but I have found considerable amount of focus which they transfer to other area of studies. Let’s first look at what is Blooklet and how it works.

What is Blooket?

Blooket is a relatively new website in the online trivia and quiz options for teachers, is Blooket . It’s a website and not an app. After creating an account as a teacher, you can create “sets of questions” on any topic you like. You can also search for “sets” created by other educators. You can host games for your students by creating a set of questions.

Blooket is different from other sites that I have used with students because the same set questions can be used for a variety games styles. The teacher could host a Gold Quest or Battle Royale or even a Classic game (think Kahoot), along with five other options.

Students don’t need to create an account. Students can join any game hosted by you by going to blooket.com/play, and then entering the pin that you will be given when hosting a game. The majority of games can be played at their own pace and students do not need to see the teacher screen. This makes them a great choice if you’re playing with virtual students. You can host games so that students can play at the same moment or assign homework to students to complete in a set time.

Blooket follows a 5 step format each design in a step by step module. Here are the five steps by which Blooket works.Choose a Question Set.

Whichever one you decide, you are certain to find the perfect set of questions for your students.
