Intro to Study Groups

Welcome to Study Groups! Here you can play your favorite kahoots and compete with your friends at the same time. Create Study Groups, practice, review content together, and score medals. 

Only students above the age of 13 (16 outside of the US) can join and create Study Groups.

How do I create a Study Group? 

1. Go to the Library screen in your Kahoot! app.
2. Go to the Study Groups section.
3. Tap on the plus icon in the top right corner.
4. Add the name of your new Study Group. Additionally, you can add a cover image from your device.

My students want to use groups, what should I do as a teacher?

Let the students create their own Study Groups and invite other students and friends to join them in learning through play. You can share kahoots with them that can be added to Study Groups. This can be either your own kahoots or existing games created by other users. For example, you can recommend kahoots from the featured collections on our Discover page.

Who can invite members? 

Only the admin can create an invitation link. 

How do I invite friends to join my Study Group? 

You need to be the admin of a Study Group to do that. Choose a Study Group and click Invite Members from the menu in the top right corner. An invitation link will be created that can either be copied or directly shared via any messaging app. 

Can someone I don’t know join my Study Group?

You invite new members by sharing an invite link. This link could end up in the hands of somebody else than you intended if they forward it or post it online.

If this happens you can reset the link and make a new one by tapping the action menu in the Study Group.

Can I remove someone from my Study Group? 

Yes. Go to the Study Group section and tap on the number of members. You will then see all of your Study Group members, choose the member that should be removed. 

How do I add and play kahoot in a Study Group?

1. Find a game in the Discover tab or go to your own Library.
2. Tap on a game you would like to add to the Study Group. 
3. Tap Start.
4. Select the Study group option.
5. Tap on the Study group where the game should be added.

What is a Study Group leaderboard? 

All of the Study Group member’s scores, as well as the current Study Group rankings, can be viewed in the Study Group section after opening the specific study group. You can filter it by time: overall, this month, or this week, and filter it by either medals or points rewarded. 

When will my Study Group game end?

When all members have finished the game or 48 hours after the game was started.
