Gimkit

---

Gimkit can be used in any classroom to introduce or review concepts; it's like a mashup of Kahoot! and Quizlet. The live gameplay is fast-paced and engaging like a game show, but when it's assigned for independent practice, Gimkit functions more like flash cards. You can easily import Quizlet sets (text only) into Gimkit with just a few clicks. Using either the Quizlet import feature or the collaborative quiz-building KitCollab mode, you can create a Gimkit game in a few minutes. This makes it easy to insert an interactive review game into your lesson with minimal prep. Teachers can also use the assignments feature to give homework. You set a due date, and students work through the kit at their own pace, answering questions until they reach a set goal. Students connect via game codes and can play in a web browser on any internet-connected device. They can compete against each other or collaborate in teams or as a whole class. In KitCollab mode, students help build the game by submitting questions before play begins. Teachers can download detailed student reports after every game.

This lesson will act as review for a unit on Ancient Egypt. The students will log into Gimkit where they will all join a 'game' about Ancient Egypt. Their goal is to earn $50 in Gimkit bucks. Students will work through the questions, making money if they answer correctly, and losing money if they answer incorrectly. If they choose incorrectly, the game will show them the correct answer before they move on. Students may use their money to buy multipliers or insurance for incorrect answers. While the students are in the game, the teacher may project the leaderboard on the smart board to show who is the lead real-time. At the end of the game, the teacher can see reports of who answered which questions correctly.
