How to Create a Review Game on Quizalize

Quizalize is a quiz game platform that will remind you of Socrative or Kahoot. Like Kahoot, students play your quiz games on their laptops or tablets by going to the Quizalize website then entering their names and a class code. Students are awarded points for correctly answering questions quickly. Students are given feedback instantly on every quiz question that they answer. A total score is presented to students at the end of every quiz. What’s different about Quizalize is that you can have students play a quiz game as a classroom activity or you an assign to them to play at home.
