QuizQuiz Games for Teachers
It is the last lesson before a holiday, the revision notes are done, and the class needs something that still counts as learning. You type five categories, a handful of questions each, name the teams, and press Play. The board fills the projector and the room splits into teams before you have finished explaining the rules.
This page shows how to use Quiz Games in a lesson. It runs in the browser: no account, no login, nothing to install, and no pupil information.
What you get
- Category board. A Jeopardy-style grid: name each category and write a question and an answer for each point value from 100 to 500.
- Survey rounds. A Family Feud-style round: one question with up to 8 top answers and their points. Tap an answer to reveal it and use Strike for wrong guesses.
- Teams and scores. Name 1 to 6 teams and give points to the team that gets it right.
- Buzzer. Built into the game for quick-answer rounds.
- Big screen. Press Play and the board opens full screen, on a laptop connected to the projector or in the browser on a smartboard.
- Save and share. Save keeps the game in this browser. Copy share link gives a link that opens the same game on any computer, so a colleague can reuse it.
- Sample games. Ready-made games on holidays and school subjects when you are short on time.
Projector mode and question timer
Press Projector mode before you start, and the board switches to extra-large text that is easy to read from the back row. Press ⛶ Full screen to hide the browser bars, too.
If you want a steady pace, turn on the question timer. It's off by default, and you can set 10, 20, 30 or 60 seconds. A bar goes from green to amber to red, and a soft sound plays when time is up, so you don't have to watch the clock yourself. The timer works on category-board questions; survey rounds run without it, so the class can take the time it needs.

Lesson ideas
End-of-unit revision board
Turn the unit into five categories, one per topic, with the easiest question at 100 and the hardest at 500. Teams choose tiles, so pupils pick their own level of challenge, and you can see from the board which topics nobody dares to choose. Those are the ones to revisit.
Starter with a survey round
Open the lesson with a survey round such as "Name something that needs electricity" or "Name a word with the prefix un-". Write the most common answers yourself in advance. Revealing the answers gives a quick way to hear what the class already knows before you start teaching.
Pupils write the questions
Let groups write one category each on paper, then type them in. Writing a good question and a correct answer is revision in itself, and the class plays a board they built. Check answers before you play.
Share with your department
Build the game once, press Copy share link, and send the link to colleagues. The whole game travels inside the link, so they open the same board on their own computer without an account.
Quick lesson without preparation
Start from a sample game on a holiday or school subject and adapt a few questions to your class.
Privacy
