Quizlet offers up to seven study activities, including matching and fill-in-the-blank games and timed quizzes. Quizlet Live steps it up to team activities. If you are a veteran to using Quizlet LIVE, try some variations (listed below the video) to up the competition or try the new BETA activity called Checkpoint (watch video).
Quizlet Live Variations
Silent: Students remain in their seats. They can not speak with their team mates but they may signal them using hand signals to help find the answers. This can be challenging for students so mix it up by using other games or activities from Quizlet.
Relay: Students find their group mates and line up their devices in a row. Students then line up behind their devices so they can't see the screens. Each student takes a turn looking at the devices to find the correct answer then circles to the other side so the next student can come up to the screens for their turn.
Tag Team: The computers are lined up with half the team sitting in front of 2 devices and the other half standing behind them. The sitting student has eyes shut and the standing student taps the shoulder (left or right) for the device with the correct answer. The sitter looks at that device and chooses the correct answer.
