Kahoot!

(View Complete Item Description)

My 7th and 8th grade students have been preparing for a book competition that will take place towards the end of the school year, similar to Battle of the Books. They have been divided into groups of 6 and are required to read 2 of the 6 preselected books. While reading the books they take notes using Google Classroom. Each student is assigned a color when note taking. I wanted a fun way for them to study for the competition. Each member will be creating a Kahoot game about one of their books they had to read and share with their group.
