Have you ever desired to enhance the interactivity and enjoyment levels of your Zoom meetings? If so, you’re in luck because I’ll be demonstrating how to incorporate Kahoot into your virtual gatherings! Kahoot is a well-known digital platform that enables you to generate and participate in interactive quizzes, surveys, and discussions. By integrating Kahoot into your Zoom meetings, you can captivate your attendees and elevate the energy of your online events.
To get started, you’ll need to have both Zoom and Kahoot accounts. If you don’t already have these, don’t worry! Both platforms offer free versions that you can sign up for. Once you have your accounts set up, follow these steps:
Step 1: Schedule your Zoom meeting
Before you can add a Kahoot game to your Zoom meeting, you’ll need to schedule the meeting itself. Open your Zoom application and click on the “Schedule” button to create a new meeting. Set the date, time, and duration of the meeting, and don’t forget to invite your participants! Once you’ve scheduled your meeting, copy the meeting link or ID. You’ll need this later to share your Kahoot game with your participants.
Step 2: Create a Kahoot game
Now it’s time to create your Kahoot game! Head over to the Kahoot website and log in to your account. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create” button to start building your game. You’ll be prompted to choose a game type – Quiz, Survey, or Discussion. Select the type that best suits your needs and start adding questions, answers, and any multimedia elements you want to include. Get creative with your questions and make them relevant to the topic of your Zoom meeting.
Step 3: Share your Kahoot game on Zoom
Once you’ve finished creating your Kahoot game, it’s time to share it with your participants on Zoom. Open your Zoom application and navigate to the scheduled meeting. Click on the “Manage Participants” button to access the participant list. From there, you can either invite participants directly or share the meeting link or ID via email or chat. Be sure to let your participants know that they will need to open the Kahoot game in a separate tab or device to play along.
Step 4: Start the Kahoot game during your Zoom meeting
When it’s time to start your Zoom meeting, make sure that all your participants are present and ready to play. Once everyone is in, click on the “Share Screen” button in the Zoom application. Choose the tab or window where you have the Kahoot game open, and click “Share.” This will allow your participants to see the game on their screens. Before you begin the game, make sure to explain the rules and how to submit answers.
During the game, your participants will see the questions and answer options on their screens, and they can use their devices to select the correct answer. The results will be displayed in real-time, adding a competitive element to your Zoom meeting. After each question, take a moment to discuss the correct answer and any interesting insights related to the topic.
Conclusion
Adding a Kahoot game to your Zoom meetings is a fantastic way to make them more interactive and engaging. By following these steps, you can create a fun and educational experience for your participants. Remember, the key to a successful Kahoot game on Zoom is to choose relevant questions and encourage active participation. So go ahead, give it a try, and let the learning and laughter begin!
