Kahoot! Play & Create Quizzes

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Kahoot! Play & Create Quizzes is a learning and trivia app where kids can participate in multiple-choice quizzes and polls called Kahoots. It's widely used in classrooms, but kids use it outside of school as well. Kids can use templates to create their own quizzes, or they can use existing quizzes that cover a wide range of topics including trivia, digital citizenship, history, and science. The app aims to spark light-hearted competition, with photos and videos that add to the fun. If inviting others to play is not appealing, kids have the option to play solo. There are ungated ways to sign up for an account by sharing an email address or allowing access to a Google or Microsoft account, and some people have found ways to hack into quizzes, potentially exposing players to inappropriate usernames and fake quiz results. Also, parents have reported kids inputting iffy content. Be sure to discuss these issues with kids. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your kids' information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
