Here are some observations from teachers:
“In Blooket, you’re given 8+ different possible game modes that use the same question set. Kids can gain points in different ways in each game mode. Blooket enjoys a ‘classic’ mode that is like regular Kahoot. Kids love it because they can play a different game mode to keep it interesting.”
“Many of the games are fun and encourage classroom engagement.”
“You can play it live or assign it as homework. It has made this year so much more fun for my classes since it works with distance, hybrid, and in person students.”
As you might imagine, Blooket’s game modes offer variety. “It offers power ups and random sabotage things you can do to other players,” says another teacher. You can follow these steps to get started.
Types of Learning
Behaviorism is about learning through interactions within an environment. The most prominent example is positive reinforcement. When students get a correct answer on Blooket, they receive points. This shapes their behavior by encouraging them to learn more in order to get more points.
Learning Activities
Math
Speedy Math races among AI ghosts or other students encourages more studying of basic arithmetic.
Students can test their knowledge of fractions through looking at the image of a pie chart, then selecting the correct proportion value for the correlated image.
Science
Students can engage in a game where they must list the correct parts of the cell on a visual example, list the elements of the periodic table, or even identify compounds based on pop culture or two-word descriptions.
Leveling Up: Students could design their own “Blooks” on pencil and paper to represent each element in the periodic table or collaboratively generate a bank of quiz questions and host the game for a younger class or family members.
English/Language Arts
Students can be challenged to list different pieces of a sentence structure (subject/predicate/etc…).
Social Studies
Students can practice memorizing states, capitals, and countries.
