Have you heard about Blooket? It is the latest type of learning through trivia and review games for students enhancing classroom engagement. I believe it is a creative way to help students learn and revise challenging and daunting concepts. And I think when teachers use Blooket, they create a more enjoyable and effective learning environment for their students. Although most features in Blooket are free, Blooket Plus appears to be a new paid version that allows you to view enhanced game reports. Maximum Customization—Game Modes, Time, and Power-Ups Students wait in the lobby until the teacher allows them into the game. Teachers can see which students are waiting to play. When ready, the host presses the start giving students access to the game. Teachers can follow each student’s progress. New Paid Version Teachers don’t have to create a new question set for each game. Keep students engaged when answering questions from the same set but playing different games.

The nine legendary blooks are King, King of Hearts, Astronaut, Mega Bot, Lion, Baby Shark, Santa Claus, and Megalodon.

Earning tokens, cash, and spending coins add to the fun of playing Blooket games. Some Blooket games allow students to buy glitches to power up their blooks; they have the option to sell them. Tower Defense is one game in which choosing the right blook and strategically placing it on the map may help you win the game. Save Games Rares sell at 20 tokens and have a drop rate of 6.5-11%. There are currently about 19 rare blooks found in 8 different boxes. The uncommon blooks and rare blooks have a green particle effect when obtained. One thing I love about Blooket is how versatile it is. It’s not just for reviewing content – you can also use it to assign homework that your students will actually want to complete! And the best part is, the games are so engaging that your students won’t even realize they’re learning. Private/Public. The public setting is for everyone to see; once published, it is available for other teachers to discover and use. The private setting is a great way to test the question set before launching the game. The menu bar at the top of the screen gives you easy access to your dashboard, settings, statistics, and the two options for questions sets, Discover or Create.If certain games keep students entertained longer, reuse these favorite games; teachers can host the same game with different question sets.

Blooket is a gamified educational tool that I find to be a fantastic way to optimize student engagement and keep students excited about the topic. The online learning platform allows teachers to host games and homework assignments innovatively that catch students’ attention, inspiring them to learn. Students receive rewards for answering multiple-choice questions correctly. The teacher can immediately create questions or search for a premade set relevant to the topic to host the first multiple-choice game. Duplicate Community Sets. Changing public question sets saves teachers time and allows them to customize the question set for their lesson and classroom without creating a question set from scratch. With eight different game modes for regular play and two unique event games, teachers can host various games or reuse their favorite game modes. I can confidently say Blooket is one of the best online resources for class-wide review, remote learning, learning at own pace, and inspiring more open-ended participation. It’s such a user-friendly game; I can imagine how engaged and excited students feel when playing Booklet games. One of my favorite things about the Booklet game is the reward you get for answering questions correctly, and in some games, the fastest correct answer wins.

When logged in to Blooket, you can switch between teacher and student mode. Most games allow late joiners; they can still win if they answer questions correctly. Teachers have two options for question sets; they can create their own or use a public question set. How To Create A Question Set When you select a game in game mode, you can load a saved game or play a new game. Load game takes you to all the saved games for that particular game. Whether students use their own devices or participate in a group competition at a classroom station, Blooket never disappoints. I think students love having their own accounts, embedded incentives that keep them motivated to learn, and competitive experiences. Time or Cash. Teachers can choose whether students play with a time limit or for cash. The game ends after a specific time or when a player reaches a cash amount – set by the teacher.Students don’t have to register to use Blooket and play online games; they can join an online game with just a code. The teacher provides the game code or a link to the Blooket game.For more fun, the student enters an alias name and avatar instead of their name. Import. Teachers can create the answer-question sets from scratch or import them from a spreadsheet or Quizlet.
