Make a Kahoot for free in six steps
Open a free teacher account
On kahoot.com choose Sign up, pick Teacher and then your school type. You can sign in with Google or Microsoft instead of a password. The free plan is called Kahoot Go.
Create a new kahoot
Click Create, then Kahoot, then Add question. On the free plan you can choose Quiz or True or false.
Write the question and the answers
Type the question and up to 4 answers, the most the free plan allows, and mark the correct one. Kahoot keeps questions and answers short, so aim for one line each.
Set the time
Each question gets its own timer, anywhere from 5 seconds to 4 minutes.
Save
Give the kahoot a title and click Save. If you used a feature marked with a star, it is a paid feature, and the kahoot stays in Drafts until you remove it: a draft cannot be played.
Host it
Open the kahoot, click Host live and pick a game mode (Classic is the standard game). A PIN appears on the screen, and students enter it at kahoot.it or in the Kahoot app, then pick a nickname.
On a phone it works the same way: in the Kahoot app, tap Create and then Blank canvas. You can build a quiz before logging in, but it is saved as a draft, and you need to log in to host it.
What the free plan includes
- Players: up to 40 per game on a school teacher account (10 on a higher-education account).
- Question types: Quiz and True or false. Poll, puzzle, type answer, word cloud and slider are on paid plans.
- AI: Kahoot's plans page lists its AI features from the paid Bronze plan ($36 a year). In our own test in September 2026, a free account could still generate a quiz from a topic.
- Images: one image from the premium image library.
Kahoot in Hebrew: what works and what does not
Kahoot's article on supported languages lists 21 interface languages, and Hebrew is not one of them. That does not stop you from writing a Hebrew quiz. What it means in practice:
- You can type questions in Hebrew, and players see them exactly as you typed them.
- The web editor runs left-to-right, so a Hebrew sentence with a number or an English word in it can come out scrambled. Kahoot's own advice: put punctuation at the start of the sentence, move numbers and English words to the end, avoid switching direction with Ctrl+Shift (it can paste code into the question), or put the text in an image.
- The True or false buttons cannot be translated. Kahoot suggests a Quiz question with two answers you write yourself instead.
- Whether its AI writes Hebrew is not documented. Kahoot says its AI works in dozens of languages but does not publish the list.
Free alternatives, and how they handle Hebrew
| Tool | Hebrew | Free plan |
|---|---|---|
| Sheelon | Full Hebrew interface, right-to-left, question editor included; the AI writes Hebrew questions | 50 players, 3 question types, 5 AI quizzes (lifetime) |
| Wordwall | Hebrew interface (wordwall.net/he) | 3 activities |
| Socrative | The student app runs right-to-left in Hebrew since May 2026; the teacher interface is not in Hebrew | 5 quizzes, 1 room, 50 students |
| Wayground (formerly Quizizz) | No Hebrew interface; its AI can write Hebrew | 20 activities |
| Mentimeter | No Hebrew interface, and Hebrew is not a participant language | 50 participants a month |
In Sheelon you type a topic or upload a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file, and the AI writes the questions in Hebrew (they follow your interface language, or pick Hebrew in the generator); you edit them and start the game, and students join at sheelon.me/join with a PIN and no account. The walkthrough is in how to create a quiz with AI.
A note on clickers
Teachers use the word for two different things. The first is a quiz game students answer on their own phones or computers, which is what Kahoot, Sheelon, Socrative and the others above are, and all of them need internet. The second is a setup that works without student devices at all. One free option is Plickers: each student holds up a printed card and the teacher's phone scans the room. If your class has no internet-connected devices, the paper version is the one that will work.
