Keeping students motivated with asynchronous assignments can be a challenge. While many tools provide ways to track completion and scores, they often miss the chance to spark joy, belonging, and collective purpose. That’s where Kahootopia! Assignments come in—a fresh way to connect everyday practice with shared achievement.
How Kahootopia! Assignments work
Teachers can now add an assignment to an existing Class Island in Kahootopia. With this option, every completed kahoot contributes to the growth of a shared digital space – whether live, in class or played asynchronously at students’ paces.
- Assignments fuel the island: Each time a student completes the assignment, new animals and visual elements appear on the Class Island.
- Growth over time: As more students participate, the island develops and flourishes, turning progress into a living, shared accomplishment.
- Tracking made simple: Teachers can monitor completion and see student progress reflected directly within the island view.
- Seamless setup: The process for assigning a kahoot is the same—just select “Assign to island” in the assignment settings pop-up to add that extra layer of collaboration.
Why this matters for learning
Beyond the fun visuals, Kahootopia! Assignments are grounded in powerful pedagogical principles:
Belonging through contribution
Students aren’t just completing a task for themselves—they’re helping their classmates and their island thrive. This shared responsibility boosts motivation and builds a sense of community, even in asynchronous work.
Celebrating group achievement
Progress is visible to everyone, but individual results remain anonymous. Students can feel proud of their contributions without the pressure of comparison.
