Introducing Gimkit Join – an effortless way for your students to jump right into your Gimkit.com game without the hassle of entering codes or names manually. With the instant-join feature, using Gimkit’s Join Code, your students can seamlessly join your game by simply visiting https://www.gimkit.com/play.
To utilize instant-join on Gimkit.com, ensure you have a class set up with student accounts:
- Choose your class when setting up your game options.
- Start hosting your game.
- Instruct your students to visit https://www.gimkit.com/play. If they’re logged in and part of your class, they’ll automatically join. If not logged in, they’ll be prompted to log in after entering the game code.
Ending a live Gimkit game prematurely is straightforward:
Simply click the exit button located at the upper right corner. The icon resembles a half circle with an arrow pointing to the right.
Now, let’s delve into KitCodes:
Welcome to KitCodes! KitCodes is a mode designed to encourage movement and activity in your classroom. However, a little preparation is necessary.
Printable KitCodes:
Click here to print KitCodes, which you’ll then distribute around your classroom. Students will scan these codes to access the shop.
Requirements to play KitCodes:
- KitCodes printed and displayed around your classroom.
- Student devices capable of moving around (laptops, tablets, phones).
- Student devices equipped with a camera.
How KitCodes Works:
KitCodes operates similarly to regular Gimkit, but with an exciting twist: students must physically move around the classroom to shop! When students enter the shop, they won’t select upgrades or powerups directly. Instead, they’ll be prompted to scan a KitCode.
Students will traverse the classroom to find the KitCode corresponding to their desired item. Once found, they simply scan the code!
And voila! Students are instantly taken to that section of the shop!
That’s all there is to it! With KitCodes strategically placed around the classroom, students are motivated to move and engage actively during the game. Plus, it’s fascinating to observe which items students are shopping for mid-game!
