Socrative an online game site for mobiles

Socrative is an enjoyable learning tool with which both teachers and students can have fun while implementing in the classroom. It is not as easy as Kahoot, which has fewer options for instructors to use while creating activities, yet it provides a range of activities that teachers can take advantage of for practice purposes. Rather than preparing multiple choice questions, with Socrative we can prepare true/false and short answer questions. I usually use this tool in order to test students after supplementary reading lessons. Especially for preparing word formation exercises it is an amazing tool. Besides, students are struggling to overtake each other as quickly as they can, thus it creates an enjoyable and highly competitive atmosphere. Depending on the class dynamics, it can be advised to divide the students into groups and complete the tasks as a group, which naturally gives them a sense of belonging to a team the courage to beat the others. At the end of the quiz, the students can be shown their results as the program allows users to send overall reports about the progress of the students. You can see a report sample below. Here is a vocabulary revision game that I prepared for my students in intermediate level.
