Creating our own Quiz Game.

As teachers we should know creativity is one of the most important element in the learning process, but it is also true that it is not always easy to find the perfect way to be creative.

For example, when we must assess the reading comprehension, usually the teacher makes a test or exam with the most important content questioned on it, then the student use to answer in a repetitive way. From my point of view, we should avoid this kind of repetitive learning, because it can make decrease our students´ motivation.

But, How can a teacher be creative in a reading comprehension assessment?
We can evaluate our children with a personalized quiz online. Thanks to the website  https://kahoot.com we can design our own questions and answer, talking about the topics we want to work at the moment. Even at the digital blackboard, the whole class can make the quiz, discussing what is important for them or not, writting posible questions and answers...It is a good tool if we want to improve our students reading comprehension, and also, oral or writing production depending on how we want to work it.

The page https://kahoot.com is really complete, we don´t only have the prsonalized quiz option.
There are a lot of different quiz games, each week they post a new quiz. You can find quizzes about the World History, the Climate Change, Science, Sports, General Knowledge... Topics interesting and useful for the young learners, more if we want to work with extracurricular links or with the CLIL methodology.  Of course, you can find the quizzes in english or spanish.

In addition, the website gives the student the opportunity to reinforce the lesson, with the mobile app the teacher can assign kahoot as homeworks or optional reinforce. It can be a different way to practice at home, the children love to use the new technologies, specially the mobile phone, so, Why not to take advantage of it?
