Gimkit is a classroom game-show platform where students compete by answering questions on their electronic devices. It offers a unique spin on game shows, increasing engagement and providing a new option for classrooms burned out on other tools. The platform is easy to use, with minimal setup required, and allows students to have more agency than competitors.
Gimkit can be used in any classroom to introduce or review concepts, and its live gameplay is fast-paced and engaging. However, when assigned for independent practice, Gimkit functions more like flashcards. The platform allows teachers to search for kits (question sets) created by other users, copy/modify them, and import existing question sets from other flashcard platforms or a spreadsheet.
Students can help build a kit in minutes by submitting their own questions using the KitCollab feature, making it easy to insert an interactive review game into a lesson with minimal prep. Teachers can also use the assignments feature to give homework, setting a due date and allowing students to work through the kit at their own pace.
Gimkit features many different game modes, some of which are available only for a limited time, and allows teachers to customize the platform for their classroom by turning on/off features and setting up options. The post-game report provides two sets of results: how the students fared in the game and how well they answered the questions.
