Want to host multiple kahoots automatically? You can! Playlists help you keep gameplay going with minimal stops. You “could” host a kahoot, close the browser tab when it’s over, then host another kahoot. Or… make a playlist before you start the first kahoot so that you can play all kahoots back-to-back without closing the browser tab. Here how:
To create a playlist...
- Click the checkbox in the top-left corner of each kahoot you want to host.
- Use the "Play" button that appears in the bottom-right of the screen.
Your playlist will then begin! Kahoots will play from top to bottom. At the end of each kahoot, there will be a "Play Next" button on the Game Over screen.
A few notes about playlists:
Players will remain connected with the same nicknames
- If you want players to rejoin, turn on "Require players to re-join after each kahoot" before starting the first kahoot.
At the end of the last kahoot, the "Play Next" button starts the playlist over
- Your playlist can progress on its own if you turn on "Automatically move through questions"
Kahoots in your Kahoots pages are sorted based on when they were last saved
- You can change the playlist order by editing and saving kahoots.

I teach Spanish and use a Kahoot for a formative assessment and sometimes I don't know what Kahoot I want to play next - depends on what I want students to get more practice on. Also, students like to vote or choose which topic to play next. I'd rather have the option after a game to select from my existing Kahoots and then play that one with the same names. Otherwise we waste so much time in the joining process and makes me want to use this tool less often.
Are scores kept between kahoots when they're on a playlist or does each game score separately? (If it's separate, is there a way to keep the score building on the previous games?)
