Connecting with students, co-workers, family and friends continues to be a challenge for many, both for those gathering virtually and those starting to reconnect in-person. Many people have been playing Kahoot! games to boost engagement in virtual or socially-distanced classrooms, meetings, presentations, events or just spending quality time with loved ones. Now, you can make learning awesome with your favorite GIFs and animated stickers from GIPHY!

New trending memes, internet classics, quotes from fan-favorite films – you name it! With a library of over 10 billion pieces of visual content, GIPHY helps more than 700 million people worldwide express themselves in unique, creative and entertaining ways every day. Users from young students to corporate professionals love the visual dynamic GIPHY brings, whether it’s a funny reaction GIF or an emoji that perfectly captures the moment.

Animate your learning!

With our new integration, you can add GIPHY content to a kahoot to bring even more fun and excitement to the Kahoot! experience, whether in a virtual or physical classroom, meeting room or gathering with family and friends. Educators and other professionals can also take lessons and presentations to the next level by creating interactive presentations powered by Kahoot! with GIPHY visuals.

Unleash your creativity and add your own personal flair to your kahoots to bring learning to life anywhere! This feature is available for free for all Kahoot! users. GIPHY content on Kahoot! is family-friendly and safe for learners of all ages to navigate independently.

Inspire students’ creativity

With GIPHY content, students can have even more fun creating their own kahoot games, which can be played in the classroom or at home with family and friends. When students create their own kahoots, it empowers them to take ownership of what they’re learning and share their knowledge with others. This is a key component of the “learners to leaders pedagogy,” one of our core concepts at Kahoot!.

How to add GIPHY content to a new or existing kahoot

Through this integration, you can either create brand-new kahoots with GIPHY visual elements or give your existing kahoots a makeover by adding GIPHY content, all right from the kahoot creator. Here’s how to get started:
