All you need to do is create a free account and follow the instructions to make a multiple choice quiz that your students can answer on their own devices. The best part is that students can log into the quiz really easily (a great advantage if you are working with little ones since they can be really slow). From a web browser, they type in "Kahoot.it". You, the teacher, logs into your Kahoot account and display the quiz number. Students then type in the quiz number, create a user name and join the quiz. You display the question on your interactive whiteboard and the children's iPads show them four option buttons. They click on their answer and once everyone has entered a choice, the correct answer is revealed.

You can also put a time limit on each question. The best part of this experience was taking my S3 students (Grade 2) up to S6 (Grade 5) to teach them how to Kahoot! It was a great experience and a real boost for the little ones.
We've used Kahoot to review telling time questions and parts of speech. It really gets kids excited, even if the topic isn't something that normally gets their motors running. It's great as a plenary-type activity and also as an introductory activity to see what they already know.
