Quizizz + Sworkit Kids

Quizizz: A Self-Paced Alternative to Kahoot
Kahoot is a free game-based learning platform that makes learning competitive, engaging, and fun. Many teachers that are currently utilizing Kahoot have found it to be a great addition in their classrooms, but many have also mentioned that students get caught up in answering questions quickly rather than correctly. Quizizz is a self-paced alternative to Kahoot. The students still play against one another and are rewarded with points for answering questions quickly and accurately, but they move through the quiz at their own pace. Click here for a brief video overview of Quizizz. You can create your own quizzes in Kahoot and Quizizz, but you can also search their libraries of quizzes. Not sure which tool to use?

Sworkit Kids
Sworkit Kids is an iOS and Android app designed to get kids moving with fun, short exercises. You can choose a workout length of 5-30 minutes. You can choose exercises or let the app create a sequence of exercises for you. Examples of exercises include crab walking and diagonal hoping. This app could be great in physical education classes, but could also be used for brain breaks or transitional periods in the classroom.
