Then, click the LIVE button that should appear on your study set. Next, you’ll be prompted to start the game with you selected set of vocabulary.
Now, there is an option to choose how you want to play. Students can play in teams or individually. Playing in teams is great for collaborative learning and having the option to play individually is a great review and shows the student what he or she truly knows in terms of vocabulary.
3. Choose create game. (The option in blue is a featured offered with an advanced account for Quizlet.)
4. Lastly, direct your students to www.quizlet.live. Students will be prompted to enter a unique 6 digit code to enter the game you have created.
After all your students have enters, Quizlet does the rest of the work. The students are separated into teams at random. You, as the teacher, has the option to shuffle the teams after each game has ended. Here is a HOW-TO video for visual learners!
My students LOVE to play Quizlet live. It keeps them motivated and they get so into the game while helping each other with the vocabulary. Students learn to work together and collaborate. Students are also held more accountable for their learning! Knowing or not knowing vocabulary can be the difference between your team winning or losing (…and they don’t want to lose!)
