After the first step is completed successfully, provide a title, description, audience, and language to the Kahoot® you have created.

- Credit Sources
Step 3
Then tap on “Ok” and go. Now, you need to write your MCQs. After writing questions, you will attach media (like images or videos) for the question and credit sources being used in the question.
Step 4
When you are finished with the above 3 steps and all process is done then click on “Save”. After this phase, now tap on “I’m done”. The quiz will be stored in “My Kahoots” that you have just created now.
Step 5

- When all the students in your class have logged in, you can “Start” the game.
Step 6
For every question in the quiz, the students will choose the geometric shape that is the right answer on mobile devices. The student answering correctly in the first place will earn points. When the game is ended, one student will be the winner. And consequently, you can reward your students with some prize for playing the game.
