What do you love about it? 

Blooket offers a wide variety of unique game options, including seasonal and special event modes, that appeal to both teachers and students alike. I love that teachers can easily customize a game with their own question set or find and use questions created by other users in Blooket’s Discover database. In addition to the practical attributes, this site also makes everything fun, including the friendly little blocks called Blooks that represent the students as they play the educational games. 

How can users access it? 

Simply visit Blooket.com and sign up for an account. Once registered, a teacher can create and host a game online. The students then join and complete the game through their own devices using a unique code called a Game ID. 

How much does it cost?

Blooket is free.
