Kahoot Round-Up: New Horizon 1 (JHS 1st)

A series of kahoot quizzes for JHS first graders that go with the New Horizon 2020 textbook series.

These are a few of the quizzes I use for my JHS first graders. These go with the New Horizon textbooks, but can be adapted to other textbooks as well. If you want to use these quizzes, you will need to make a Kahoot account. You can edit these quizzes from your own account by sharing it to your own Kahoot account first and then editting it from there.

The ALT will need to host the quiz from their own Kahoot account & tablet via kahoot.com, and the students will join via their tablets from kahoot.it. Students don't need an account to play a Kahoot quiz.

The ALT can read the word aloud to the student (or let them read it themselves for a bigger challenge), and the student should then click/touch the correct picture/word. I usually play by the special rule of students have to repeat the word first before they can answer, that way they are listening and speaking a bit too. (It also adds an element of urgency too)

If students have a hard time joining the quiz, check that they are typing the game pin using 半角 (half-width numbers from the English keyboard) numbers and no space between numbers.

      Hello, I was hoping to use the spelling practice quiz (no 7) but it appears to be set to private.
