How to create a kahoot

Simple! Go to kahoot.com, login and click the “create” button on the right side of the top navigation bar in our platform.

This will open the kahoot creator where you can:

• adjust kahoot settings
• add questions

How to edit an existing kahoot

To edit an existing kahoot of yours, simply click the options button [ ⋮ ] and choose “✎ Edit”. 

• You can only edit kahoots you’ve created or duplicated, found in My Kahoots list.
• As an owner, admin, or member of a team (subscription required), you and other members can edit each other's' team space kahoots.

Adding and editing questions

Once you’ve started creating a kahoot, you can navigate between questions and add new ones in the left-hand sidebar.

• Questions you’ve already added are listed at the top of the sidebar. You can move, duplicate, or delete questions from this list.
  Under your question list are buttons you can use to add new questions. You can create new questions from scratch, add them from other kahoots, import slides from a presentation, or import quiz questions from a spreadsheet.

How to move, duplicate, or delete questions

• Click on a question to edit it.
• Drag a question to place it above or below another question.
• Click the  button to duplicate a question.
• Click the  button to delete a question.

“Add question” button

Click on this and choose what type of question you want to add. You can add up to 100 questions per kahoot. Read this article to learn about the different question types.

“Question bank” button

Click on this and start typing a question or keyword that you want to find a question about. After results are shown, you can toggle between “Show all” (all public kahoots) and “My questions” (only kahoots shown on your Kahoots page). You can add multiple questions at once by clicking the “Add” button to the right of each question. Question bank questions can be edited just like a question created from scratch.

The question bank is not available for students as a way to encourage individual research and creative work as they’re creating their own kahoots as a part of classroom or homework assignments. 

“Import spreadsheet” button

Click on this to import quiz questions from a spreadsheet. Questions must be in our .xlsx template with a max file size of 1 MB. You can use MS Excel, Libre Office, Google Spreadsheets or Numbers to add questions. Please note that a single kahoot can’t exceed 100 questions.
