Hey there, I’m Brad!
And today, we’re going to learn about something that’s being loved by kids in classrooms everywhere: Blooket.
What’s Blooket, you will now ask, right?
Well, Blooket is a game-based learning platform that is used by both teachers and students. Mostly teachers though.
Blooket was created in 2018 by Ben Stewart.
Blooket uses interactive games like trivia and more to make education fun. Teachers can create customized question sets there. And students can engage with them in a gamified environment.
When I signed up for Blooket to write this tutorial, I felt like I was already in a kid’s party. The way kids are now so much into phones, Blooket turns homework into a party—I’m not joking, they literally have games in homework.
Now, let’s get into it.

Why Blooket Is A Game-Changer?
Education is getting an upgrade, and Blooket is right there in the front row. It’s not just about asking questions. It’s about creating experiences.
Now we may hate it, but phones are now a regular part of kid’s lives. They don’t want a traditional worksheet anymore.
A Blooket game is much more exciting for them.
I tried it myself.
It’s fun for sure!
My review is this:
