Class 2 Kahoot Report

The Indian School-Second Shift

Online quiz game ‘Kahoot’

The students of class II played an online quiz, Kahoot, on 16^th January, 2020. This was based on festivals celebrated by them during the year.

Kahoot is an online game-based learning platform, used as an educational tool in schools and other educational institutions. Its learning games or “Kahoots”, are multiple-choice quizzes that can be accessed via a web browser.

The teachers compiled a set of age- appropriate questions on festivals celebrated in India and globally. The festivals included were Raksha bandhan, Janmashthami, Dussehra, Diwali, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hoi An Lantern, Hanukkah and Christmas among others. Some examples of the questions asked were “Which country is shaped like the letter ‘S’?”, “What popular dish is cooked during Thanksgiving?”, “Which festival of lights is celebrated in our country and which one abroad”, etc.

In each section of class 2, the students were divided in groups of 5 and each group leader was given a mobile phone with the Kahoot app. The children were then given instructions on how to enrol as a team for the quiz.

Once the game began, the excitement of the children began to mount. They were told beforehand how to press the correct option to gain points and the fastest finger first would score the maximum!

The children settled into the game smoothly, after getting a little fazed in the first two questions. Soon they got the hang of it and then there was no looking back! In fact they started promptly answering even the complicated questions! Th exercise was not just fun but an energising mind game where reading and understanding the questions to answering quickly were equally on test.
