In this post, we are going to put Kahoot and Quizizz head to head to see which one fits your classroom the best. So these two apps have a lot in common. They both do a lot of things the same thing, but they also do a lot of things differently. We will put them head to head through 5 categories: Interactions, Integrations, libraries, collaboration/sharing, and results/data.
Interaction
Kahoot:
One way to play Kahoot is live via game pin. You can choose either classic or team mode. You would go through the game together as a class; everyone is on the same question at the same time. The question and answers are displayed on screen with a corresponding shape. The shapes are on students devices.
Quizizz:
One way to play Quizizz is live game mode or homework mode. Both modes are self paced. Once you answer a question, you can move on to the next question and do not have to wait for the rest of the class. As a teacher, you also have the ability to print out a hard copy of quiz. This is nice for students without a device or ones who need accommodations whether it be via an IEP or 504 plan.
Integration
Kahoot:
Play and access through Kahoot website or app with game PIN. You can also share a link to your Kahoot quiz to Google Classroom.
Quizizz:
Play and access through Quizizz website or app. You can also post quiz in Google Classroom as an assignment. Doing this will give students two links: a web link or mobile link. So depending on what type of device they are using, they can access the correct format. You can also set a timeframe for when the quiz needs to be completed. Also, you can have the score your students got on the Quizizz quiz imported into your Google Classroom grades.
Libraries
Both Kahoot and Quizizz have libraries of premade quizzes that teachers can search for and use with their classes.
Kahoot:
Thes premade quizzes can be found under the Discover Tab. You can filter by subject, grade level, who it was created by (teacher, student, business user, social users), type of Kahoot (quiz, survey, jumble, discussion), and language.
Quizizz:
These pre-made quizzes can be found under the Find a Quiz section. You would type in what you are looking for then you can filter by either grade, subject, number of questions, and language.
Collaboration/sharing
Kahoot:
You can share Kahoot quizzes via link, directly to other Kahoot!’ers, or via social media.
Quizizz:
You can share Quizizz quizzes via email to another teacher, direct url link, to social media, or to Google Classroom as either an assignment or announcement.
Results/data
Kahoot:
After your students take a Kahoot quiz, you can extract results/data from that quiz. This would be found under the reports section. From there, you can sort by date played, title, or number of players. You cannot view reports within website. You would have to download them to be able to view them. Reports can also be saved to Google Drive.
Quizizz:
Reports would be found under the Reports section. From there, you would be able to see class accuracy, number of questions, and the number of players that took the quiz at the top of the report. You can filter by player or question. You can also sort by accuracy, first name, or last name. You also have the ability to email parents directly from reports page. You can print results or you can download results as a CSV file.
