These past 2 days, we have tried to host live Kahoots via YouTube live and although we could play, it slowed the whole game down and ultimately made it a lot less fun than in our classrooms.

Luckily, Kahoot! have now developed Kahoot! Home Assignments in response to the current situation around the world.

So we have set up 4 Kahoot! quizzes that you can do on your own device/computer in your own time. You will still be competing against other St. Mary’s pupils and see their scores as well as your own.

We are only allowed to assign each quiz to 100 people so please only do each quiz once per pupil and stick to quizzes recommended to your class level.

We will update quizzes regularly but updated game pins will not be posted on our homepage but via the ‘Kahoot Quizzes‘ page under the Student tab.

To play:

1. Go to www.kahoot.it
2. Enter the game pin associated with the quiz you wish to do.
3. Click play.
4. Both the questions and answers will appear on your device. Answer as quickly as possible.

Quizzes

Spellings

Try to pick the correct spelling of often misspelled words. This is quite tricky and probably best suited to 4th – 6th class. But 3rd class pupils could have a try, if they wish, too.

One for our younger pupils, where the pupil is given a number sentence and must provide the answer. All answers are below 20. Recommended for Senior Infants to 2nd Class.

Times Tables

The ever-popular times tables quiz. Different questions to the one played in the live version but very similar. 3rd – 6th Class.

All games will run until Monday 6th April at 12pm or until 100 pupils have taken part in each quiz. This should also serve as a reminder for each pupil to only take part in a quiz once.

We tried our first Kahoot quiz on Tuesday 31st March and it was, in no uncertain terms, a disaster. But I think I’ve learned lots from this and will go again tomorrow, on Wednesday 1st April at 12pm.

Apologies to all who logged in, and unfortunately were disappointed. Fingers crossed, tomorrow’s quiz will make up for it.

Please note that there is a big (30 seconds or so) delay between you entering your nickname/answer and it appearing on screen. For this reason, all answering times will be extended out to 90 seconds. This means the game won’t be as fast as it is in class but everyone is still answering at same time as everyone is experiencing same delay.

To play you need to do the following:

1. Go to www.kahoot.it on any device or computer.
2. Enter the game pin code below at 12pm
3. Choose a nickname.
4. Wait until 12.15pm and start playing
5. See you tomorrow.

May I also remind anyone who posts inappropriate names that you first will be removed immediately, and I will then check your IP address and inform your parents of your choice of nickname in game.

See you tomorrow!

We’re going to try and host a live Kahoot quiz tomorrow (Tuesday 31st March) via YouTube live for our pupils. The quiz will be based on times tables and follows the format many children will be familiar with. This is a trial and fingers crossed it works really well and we’ll have more quizzes in the coming days.

The best way to play would be with 2 devices – one as the question screen with the live video playing, and another as your Kahoot screen. However, if playing on a laptop it would be possible to have 2 windows open at the same time and visible, therefore only needing one laptop. You would also only need one question screen for multiple players with separate devices for the Kahoot answer screen.

The live stream will begin at 12pm but the quiz itself will start at 12.15pm promptly.

To take part, you will need to do the following:

1. Go to www.kahoot.it on any device or computer (or download the app on certain devices).
2. Enter the game pin code which will appear in the video below from 12pm until 12.15pm.
3. Choose a nickname.
4. Wait until 12.15pm when the game will begin.
5. Times tables questions will appear on the video with 4 possible answers. Pick the correct answer on your device in the quickest time possible.
6. After each question there will be an updated leaderboard.
7. Enjoy!

Apologies for delays. Technical difficulties. Please note there is a 30 second or so delay between entering answers/usernames and them appearing. But everyone will have same delay so all fair!!

We will now begin quiz at 12.45pm. Page will go live at 12.30 with pin.

We have updated our website to help us through this difficult time of social distancing and school closures. We hope to bring you as much help as you need while your children are at home during this period. Keep an eye on the website for updates and homework for your children through the classes page.
