Blooket Game: How To Play And What Is It?

Modern students now have access to many tech tools, unlike a few decades ago, which was not available. With technological advancements, educating students has also become easier for teachers with many software and tools. Blooket is one of the most useful applications that can improve students’ knowledge without any complications.

In this post, I will tell what Blooket is and how to use it properly to benefit students and teachers. Let’s get started.

What Is Blooket?

Blooket is a creative game-based platform where students learn something new by playing the games, and teachers can teach their students useful knowledge in a fun way. The app was launched in 2018, and since then, it has been used by millions of people in the United States alone; however, anyone can use it irrespective of location.

The best part about Blooket is, it is free to use and you don’t need to install an application to use it. You can use it on any web browser, whether it is from a mobile phone, a PC, or even a laptop. You can use it from any device and any web browser you want. It is as simple as that.

Teaching isn’t an easy job to do. It needs some creativity to teach the students, and you need a lot of patience during that time. What would you do as a teacher If I told you there is an interesting application to teach something new for your students? Yes, that’s what Blooket is all about.

When students engage in a fun activity while learning something new, they won’t even feel like they are being taught in a classroom. They’ll learn everything in an easy and fun way which will be remembered for a long time. Teachers don’t need to push the students to learn some new lesson. They’ll learn that by themselves.

Features of Blooket:

Here are a few key features of Blooklet:

• Create or Discover different sets of questions from a wide range of categories.
• Mark a few sets as your “Favorites” to navigate them easily.
• Offers 15 different “Game Modes” while playing the game.
• Can be played both “Solo” and as a “Team”.
• “Homework” can be assigned by a teacher.
• Students can play the game without even creating an account.
• Free to use.
• Blooket can be played in any web browser.

These are just some key features I want to highlight for you. Once you start playing the game; you’ll come across a lot of useful features which will be beneficial for both teachers as well as students.

Let’s jump right into the main topic and see how you can use this application as a teacher and a student. I’ll explain the methods for teachers and students separately to understand the process easily.

How To Use Blooket As A Teacher?

If you are a teacher, here’s how you can use Blooket:

• Step 1: Visit the official site of Blooket from any web browser you use.

• Step 2: Now, create a new account by clicking on the “Sign up” option or log in to Blooket with your account details If you have an existing account on Blooket.
• Step 3: Once, you are logged in, you’ll see a Blooket dashboard with two options i.e. “Create a set” or “Discover sets”.

• Step 4: If you are just starting with Blooklet for the first time, I would suggest you click on “Disocver sets”.

• Step 5: Now, you’ll see all the sets available on Blooket. A set is simply a list of questions set up by someone on Blooket. Click on any set you like from the list or use the search option to find a set in your favourite topic.
• Step 6: If you want to play a specific game alone, click on “Solo” to get started, and you can start playing the game. As a teacher, you can play the game solo to check out the game and what types of questions you have got for your students.

• Step 7: If you want to play games with your friends in your class, click on “Host” and you’ll be taken to a new page where you have to select the “Game Mode” and set the “Timer” for the game.
• Step 8: Finally, click on “Host” and you’ll get a unique “Game ID” to play the game you created.

As I said, Discovering sets would be a good idea for you as a teacher as you will come across questions in a wide range of categories that might benefit your students. If you already have Blooket experience, you can create a new set of questions by yourself.

Once you have followed everything I have talked about above, visit the Blooket Play page and enter the “Game ID” to start playing the game right away and that’s it. There are many Blooket hacks and once you involve with this game for a long time, you’ll learn everything about it.

How To Use Blooket As A Student?

If you are a student, here’s how you can use Blooket.

• Visit the Blooket Play page and enter the “Game ID” you may have gotten from your teacher.
• Give a “Nickname” for yourself to play the game.
• Select a “Password” from the screen.
• If you aren’t able to select a few Blook, you may need to create a new account on the platform or else sign in to your existing account.

After you perform these steps, the host (or your teacher) will grant you access to play the game. Once you are in, you can play the game on Blooket as usual.

Using Blooklet is much easier than a teacher because you don’t need to create an account on the platform to play the game. You must remember that there are some limitations If you are playing the game without creating or signing with an account.

How Much Does Blooket Cost?

As of now, Blooket has plans, and they are:

• Free: This plan is free forever, and you can create unlimited sets and edits with this one. While hosting your team, you can have up to 60 players with the free plan.
• Plus ($2.99/ month): With this plan, you get everything you get with the free plan and additional benefits like enhanced game reports, early event access, student bonus token, and more. Also, you can have up to 300 players while hosting a game with this plan. You can only get this plan by paying a yearly fee.
• Plus Flex ($4.99/ month): This is the most advanced plan Blooket has right now. There is no difference between Plus and Flex in terms of features; however, it allows you to pay the fees of Blooket monthly.

If you are just a basic user who doesn’t host over 60 players in a game and is okay with the features in the free plan, you should stick with that plan only. If you are a pro user with a large team or a teacher with many students, then you should opt for either the “Plus” or “Plus” plan.

If you are okay with paying yearly to save money, I suggest you go with the Plus plan, which could save you around $15. You would be okay with the monthly plan if you don’t want to pay annual fees. At last, It depends on you and your requirement which plan to go for.
