The start of a new school year is the perfect time to set your classroom up for success. To help you hit the ground running, we’ve introduced new Kahoot! features designed to solve real classroom challenges—from navigating device-free environments to closing foundational math gaps.

Whether you are looking to save time on lesson prep, foster critical thinking, or motivate students to complete their homework, our latest updates give you the flexibility to engage every learner exactly where they are.

Bring the joy of Kahoot! to everyone, in every classroom

With our new Classic Unplugged and Team Tiles device-free experiences, you can run engaging, interactive lessons directly from a shared screen. Students call out answers, hold up cards, or work in teams to discuss solutions, giving you the perfect way to spark participation without needing individual phones, tablets, or laptops.

Close the math gap and improve student outcomes

Provide targeted practice and real-time data to rebuild foundational skills and improve test scores. Math Missions is an adaptive practice tool that provides self-driven learning to ensure no student gets stuck. By automatically adjusting to each learner’s pace, it builds the confidence required to master complex math topics from number sense to algebra.
