How to use Quizlet Live...
What is this new game?
This is an in-class, team-based learning game based on any Quizlet study set. Students are randomly paired into teams of 3-4 students to race against other teams. Each team must work together to clear their board, and the first team to do so wins.Who can use this game?
All teachers on Quizlet can use the game for FREE. Students will not be able to play this game on their own, however.How does the game work?
Here is what to expect:- Students work together in randomized teams of 3-4, on ipads or computers.
- Teams race to match all the terms and definitions but wrong answers reset progress to zero.
- The first team to match all 12 terms correctly in a row wins.
- At the end of a game, see what terms students get right and wrong.
To get started you’ll need:
Here's what you'll need to run a successful game.- A Quizlet study set (with at least 12 terms)
- At least 6 students (there is no upper limit on the number of students but we’ve tested with 12-40 students at a time)
- A computer, ipad, or phone for each student
- 10-20 minutes of class time
How to set up a game in your class:
Teacher Instructions:1) Set up your computer to project your screen to the class
2) Give each student a computer or ipad
3) On your computer, go to the set you’d like to use on Quizlet
4) You’ll see a “Live” button on the right side of the page with a “beta” label. Click it!
5) On this screen, click "Create game."
Student Instructions:
1) Students go to http://quizlet.live and enter the game pin you are projecting on your screen (if you cannot access quizlet.live due to school filters, you can access it via https://quizlet.com/live)
2) When all students have joined, preview randomized team assignments (with the option to reshuffle)
3) Assign these teams to students by clicking Use These Teams
4) Ask students to move next to each other so that they can work together
5) Start the game!
Things to Keep in Mind:
Unique Terms:Requires that there be 12 unique terms in your Quizlet set before starting a game. So, if a set that has the same term OR the same definition repeated, all of those pairs are removed.

I have used Quizlet to create my own cards and tests, but didn't notice the Live feature. I am looking forward to using this feature. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi! We have been using Quizlet Live at our school since it came out last spring. Question - have you had any issues with the definition being cut off on the iPads? Haven't had a problem on Chromebooks, just iPads.
ReplyDeleteI have not had any of the teachers report any problems when using Quizlet on the ipads.
ReplyDeleteWow, just used this today (I know, I'm slow getting to the party). We loved it. The kids worked quietly but were super excited and it was great to see so much interaction and team support during a game (too often games are individual or are high jacked by one individual). I loved the review at the end. This was much faster to create than a kahoot. This is definitely going to be come a regular in my vocab reviews.
