How to use Kahoot! study modes

Updated

Study modes in our apps bring a self-paced study experience to you. There are several different ways to review content:

The availability of specific study modes depends on your plan level and account type.

The idea behind different study modes is to put learners in control of their studying, allowing them to determine both the pace and difficulty. This is aligned with our learners-to-leaders pedagogy, one of the core concepts of Kahoot! experience.

Flashcards

This study mode allows you to learn a new topic, memorize content, and quickly revisit previous lessons. Flashcards are great for preparing for a test. Going through a kahoot question by question, learners flip cards until they feel they’ve memorized all the correct answers.

You can practice with flashcards on the mobile app and the web platform.

Learn

High-engagement learning format inspired by social media platforms. This is also the study mode that participants see after acing all the flashcards or after completing a live game or a student-paced assignment.

Test yourself

When learners feel confident about a topic, they can test themselves. This mode rewards learners with emotes. When a learner answers the required number of questions correctly, they can collect a reward at the end of the mode. Emotes can be viewed in the profile section.

  • Hi greggstx!

    To create flashcards from a word table/chart with pictures, names, and definitions, you can use the Kahoot! app, which offers a flashcard study mode designed for memorizing content.

    Here are the steps to make your flashcards using Kahoot!:

    1. Prepare Your Content: Ensure your word table/chart has clear pictures, names, and definitions.
    2. Open Kahoot!: Access the Kahoot! app on your mobile device or web platform.
    3. Create a New Kahoot: Click on the "Create" button and select "New Kahoot."
    4. Add Questions: Manually input each word, picture, and definition from your table/chart as a question in your Kahoot. Use the question types available in Kahoot! to add images and text effectively.
    5. Define Answer Choices: If needed, set correct answers and add distractors for each question.
    6. Save and Test Your Kahoot: After inputting all items, save your kahoot. You can test the flashcard mode by selecting the "Play Solo" option and choosing "Flashcards" from the study mode category.

    Flashcards in Kahoot! allow students to flip through each card and memorize the information they need. This mode is particularly valuable for test preparation and revisiting lesson content.
