Type answer - Ask students to type a short answer
Use Type answer to eliminate the guesswork and test deeper knowledge. Learners are presented with an open-ended question and asked to type in a short answer (up to 20 characters). After all players have submitted their answer, the host can review and accept other submitted answers as correct so that they are awarded points.

Poll - Collect student feedback or do a quick pulse-check at any point during the class
Ensure every learner feel seen and heard with Polls! This question type is great for gathering opinions, quick pulse checks or collecting feedback. There’s no wrong answer in Polls, so the players won’t be awarded any points and the scoreboard will not show after a Poll question.

A bigger text-tile = more students have added this answer!
Word cloud is available with a Kahoot! EDU subscription.
Drop pin - Gather opinions by asking players to drop pins on an image
