How to Create a Quiz in Kahoot! An Easy Guide

Gamified learning is becoming “the thing” of the town, right now! 

Well, who wouldn’t want a bit of fun and flutter added to their daily routine? I loved those pop quizzes back in the time. Though I used to fail big time, I remember the questions clearly! 

Now, with tools like Kahoot, it’s even easier!

But learning a new tool can be quite a bit of a hassle. I get you! But it’s actually not that complex! I had a lot of fun creating a quiz, and I’ll make sure you do too! 

But again, if at all you feel…maybe this isn’t what you need, I have an alternative quiz maker for you! 

Let’s get straight into business now, shall we?

So…

How to Make a Quiz in Kahoot!

I’ll try to make this as simple as possible. Just follow this guide and you’ll have a quiz ready in seconds! 

You need to start by creating a Kahoot account. It’s pretty simple, maybe you can straightaway go ahead with the free plan. But if you need advanced options, there are top-tier plans you can use.

Let’s assume you decide to use the free plan. Here’s what you need to do next…

Step 1: Create a Kahoot!

Click on the Create Kahoot button, and get started with your first quiz. 

Now you will be flooded with options! Choose how you want to create your quiz.

You can either generate a quiz based on the topic with Kahoot Assistance or you can use any of the templates available. 

We’ll discuss how to create one from scratch. 

So now you might be having the builder on your screen. It might look something like this…

Step 2: Build Your Quiz

You can choose to format the quiz before or after you add the questions. I like to keep things neat and tidy before I begin (or it pricks me at the back of my mind!)

• First, Click on Themes, go to Question Type, and choose what you want. I have chosen a "quiz" here.
• Then, name your quiz something interesting by clicking on the "Enter Kahoot Title" Text Box at the top left corner. 

Yes, now comes the interesting part! 

Do you see those three drop-down menus on your right-hand side? That’s where you format your quiz. 

• The time limit option lets you select the time you can take to answer a question.
• You can set a maximum score for the correct answer and choose between standard, double, or no points.
• Lastly, decide if you want to allow single or multiple choices for a question. 

Once that is done…

Step 3: Add Questions

• You can add as many questions as you like. However, some of the question types are restricted to paid plans only.

• You must provide 4 options in each of the text boxes and select the right answer by checking the circle next to each choice.
• There is an image option in the middle of each question where you can insert images that apply to the question. 

Once you are satisfied with your creation, hit the "Save" button in the top right corner of your screen. 

That’s it! Pretty easy right? 

So, Why do People Choose SurveySparrow for their Quizzes? 

While Kahoot makes it fun and engaging, you might want something a bit more serious and advanced, right? That’s pretty normal. Everyone has their own preferences. I get you, again. 

SurveySparrow lets you do both! 

By adding a conversational approach to your quizzes, you can take engagement to the next level! Moreover, you get 30+ pre-designed quiz templates so you need not move a finger. (Well, you might have to hit a few buttons, but that's about it! But you know what I mean, right?)

Creating a quiz with the drag-and-drop builder is so easy! You should try it!  

• You can score the quizzes, and personalize them using advanced conditional logic. 

• Oh, and randomize the questions and options for each user to maintain a bit of mystery. We don’t want anyone to cheat, do we?
• Once the creation is done, share them in multiple languages via the channel of your choice.
• Track the answers in real time on an executive dashboard. Visualization can’t be more fun! Tracking individual responses is a bit hard in Kahoot.
• Plus, they are all-device-compatible and the results can be downloaded in PDF,  Excel, and SPSS formats. 

What more? The AI builder takes away even the slightest effort from your end. Hit a short prompt and Voila! It will give you a set of questions. 

And, there is no limit to the type of quiz you can create. Whether you want to make a trivia quiz on American history for student engagement or have some fun with a personality quiz, the platform has something for you.

The best part? You can try it for free, and switch to the free plan whenever you want. The advanced features come with a sweet fee though. The basic plan costs just $19/month. 

Why don’t you give it a try?
