  1. 1

    Sign in and name the quiz

    Quizzes need a free teacher account so your questions and scores are kept. It takes about ten seconds with email or Google. Students never sign in.

  2. 2

    Write the questions

    Add each question with two to six answers and mark the right one. Five to ten questions fill ten minutes. Short questions work best on a projector.

  3. 3

    Put the code on the board

    Start the game. The lobby shows a big QR code and a short game code. Students scan or type the code and pick a nickname; you can see each name arrive.

  4. 4

    Play

    Each question runs on a timer. Correct answers score points, faster answers score more, and a streak of right answers adds a bonus. After each question you reveal the right answer and how the class split, the scores update, and the game ends on a podium of the top three.

  5. 5

    Use what you learn

    Watch which questions most of the room got wrong. Those are tomorrow’s warm-up. The trivia templates are ready-made if you want a fun round instead.

Make it fair and kind

  • Ask students to use first names or a fun nickname, not full names, if the screen is shared.
  • Keep the first question easy so everyone gets points early.
  • For a low-stakes check, skip the leaderboard talk and focus on the answers.
