What is Blooket?
Blooket is a trivia game that is similar to Kahoot and can be used for entertainment or education. Blooklet is a new card game for students and teachers that turns learning into an exciting experience! Have you ever tried learning something while simultaneously having fun? Booklet will not just teach you something new—it will engage your mind with puzzles and challenges while you learn. Booklet is much more than a game. It’s an engaging tool for both lessons and classrooms.
When Blooket is used in the classroom, teachers will be able to interact with Blooket in real time. That is the convenient aspect of Blooket. Solo practice is also an option for students who like to work at their own speed. There is no need to compete with the other students.
