Teacher Takeover: From A1 Learners to Level 100: Freddy’s classroom journey through Kahootopia!

Here’s how Freddy, a dedicated Kahoot! educator for nearly a decade, used this interactive feature to engage beginner English learners and turn their lessons into a rewarding adventure.

When learning a new language, progress isn’t always easy to see. But what if your students could build something together—something that grows and evolves as they do? That’s exactly what happened in Freddy’s classroom when they reached Level 100 in Kahootopia! Here’s how Freddy, a dedicated Kahoot! educator for nearly a decade, used this interactive feature to engage beginner English learners and turn their lessons into a rewarding adventure.

Reaching Level 100 with A1 and Pre-A1 students

Freddy, who currently teaches in Colombia, found that Kahootopia! became more than just a fun add-on—it became a key motivator for his students at the A1 and Pre-A1 English levels. By playing kahoots regularly, they worked together to expand their class island, earning rewards, unlocking new achievements, and seeing their collective progress in a tangible, visible way.

“The students love it,” Freddy shared. “They especially enjoy when the island gets new prizes and achievements. It gives them something to look forward to, beyond just learning vocabulary or grammar.”

How Kahootopia! boosted engagement and motivation

Here’s what made Kahootopia! such a powerful tool in Freddy’s language-learning classroom:

  •  A sense of progress – As students played more kahoots, they saw their island evolve, reinforcing the idea that every lesson contributed to their success.
  • Teamwork and collaboration – Rather than competing against each other, students worked toward a common goal, fostering a supportive learning environment.
  • Immediate rewards – Unlocking prizes and achievements kept motivation high, especially for beginner students who might otherwise feel overwhelmed.
  • Inclusivity for all learning levels – Even the Pre-A1 learners felt included, as they could still contribute to the class’s success regardless of their individual skill level.

Tips for using Kahootopia! with language learners

If you want to bring this same excitement into your own classroom, here’s how to get started:

  1. Create your first Class Island – Set up a shared space where students can track their progress together.
  2. Incorporate kahoots into daily lessons – Use kahoots to reinforce vocabulary, grammar, or listening comprehension.
  3. Celebrate milestones – Acknowledge when the class reaches new levels, just like Freddy’s group did when they hit Level 100!
  4. Encourage participation at every level – Make sure every student, regardless of ability, can contribute in some way to the island’s growth.
