How to Make a Kahoot for Free, and What to Know in Hebrew

You can make a Kahoot quiz on the free plan in about ten minutes, and your students usually do not need an account to play it. Below are the six steps, exactly what the free plan includes, and what Kahoot's own help center says about typing questions in Hebrew, which is where most Israeli teachers run into trouble. At the end there is a short comparison of free alternatives and how each handles Hebrew. We make one of them, Sheelon, so treat that part as a vendor talking. Everything here was checked on 28 September 2026.

Make a Kahoot for free in six steps

1

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.

2

Create a new kahoot

Click Create, then Kahoot, then Add question. On the free plan you can choose Quiz or True or false.

3

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.

4

Set the time

Each question gets its own timer, anywhere from 5 seconds to 4 minutes.

5

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.

6

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

ToolHebrewFree plan
SheelonFull Hebrew interface, right-to-left, question editor included; the AI writes Hebrew questions50 players, 3 question types, 5 AI quizzes (lifetime)
WordwallHebrew interface (wordwall.net/he)3 activities
SocrativeThe student app runs right-to-left in Hebrew since May 2026; the teacher interface is not in Hebrew5 quizzes, 1 room, 50 students
Wayground (formerly Quizizz)No Hebrew interface; its AI can write Hebrew20 activities
MentimeterNo Hebrew interface, and Hebrew is not a participant language50 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.

Is Kahoot free?

Yes. The free Kahoot Go plan lets a school teacher host games for up to 40 players with Quiz and True or false questions. Other question types and most AI features are on paid plans, starting with Bronze at $36 a year.

Does Kahoot support Hebrew?

Partly. You can write questions in Hebrew and players see them as written, but Hebrew is not one of Kahoot's 21 interface languages, the web editor runs left-to-right, and the True or false buttons cannot be translated.

Can I make a Kahoot on my phone?

Yes. In the Kahoot app tap Create and then Blank canvas. You can build without logging in, but the quiz is saved as a draft until you log in to host it.

Is there a free Kahoot-style game in Hebrew?

Yes. Sheelon has a full Hebrew interface, including the question editor, and its free plan takes 50 players per game. Wordwall also has a Hebrew interface, with 3 free activities.

Can I run a clicker quiz without internet?

Not with Kahoot or Sheelon, which need an internet connection on every device. Plickers works with printed cards that students hold up and a single teacher phone that scans them.

Make the same quiz in Hebrew

Type a topic or upload your lesson file, choose Hebrew for the questions, and run it live with a PIN.
