Recommended Ages
Designed for K-12, but in practice Blooket tends to shine for roughly 2nd-8th grade. Younger kids may need reading support; older teens may prefer it as a short review or exam warm-up instead of a primary study tool.

1st-12th Grades

Blooket is an online, game-based review platform that turns any quiz into a fast-paced learning game. Parents or educators choose or create a question set, pick a game mode, and kids join from their own devices to play, review, and compete.

  • Best for: families who want a highly engaging way to review math, science, history, language arts, geography, and more.
  • Use it as: a quick warm-up, end-of-unit review, or reward activity that still reinforces key skills.
  • Works well for: roughly grades 1-12, especially kids who are motivated by games, points, and friendly competition.
  • Keep in mind: Blooket is a supplemental review tool, not a full curriculum, and it requires screens plus a reliable internet connection.

Blooket is a great fit for kids who enjoy video games, friendly competition, and fast-paced review. It’s especially helpful for learners who already understand the basics but need more practice to keep facts and vocabulary fresh.

Pros

Extremely engaging for many kids; works across almost any subject or grade level; easy for adults to get started with a free account; lots of game modes to keep review feeling fresh; supports both live play and homework; and offers simple reports so you can spot which questions or topics need more work.

Cons

Requires reliable internet and screens; user-generated question sets vary in quality and may need careful vetting; competitive modes can feel stressful or overstimulating for some kids; it can be \u201caddictive\u201d if overused; and it remains a supplemental review tool rather than a full, structured curriculum.

Blooket is typically purchased directly by families or schools as a low-cost digital subscription. At the time of this listing, Modulo is not tracking specific ESA, charter, or government-funding approvals for Blooket, so families should check with their program about whether online subscriptions like this are covered.

Blooket offers a free Starter plan with access to core game modes, unlimited sets, and up to around 60 players per game. Families who want more features can upgrade to Blooket Plus, which is typically a low monthly or annual subscription that adds enhanced reports, larger game sizes, extra customization, and additional game modes. Exact pricing and promotions change, so always confirm current details on Blooket\u2019s website.

What kids will learn

Blooket Mission

Blooket’s mission is to make practice and review feel like play. By blending fast-paced games with teacher-created question sets, it aims to keep students engaged while still giving adults clear data on what kids know and where they need support.

Blooket Story

Blooket was started by brothers Ben and Tom Stewart, who were frustrated with traditional classroom review games. They wanted something more playful, more strategic, and more inclusive than simple points and answer streaks, so they began experimenting with new game modes and launched Blooket in 2018. Since then it has grown to millions of users and become a go-to review tool in classrooms and homeschools worldwide.

About Modular Learning

FAQ: Additional Details about Blooket

In a typical Blooket session, an adult shares a game code, kids pick a cute “Blook” avatar, and the room gets noisy fast. Questions pop up on each child’s device and gameplay continues for just a few minutes at a time, making it feel more like a party game than a quiz.

To use Blooket at home, a parent or educator creates a free account, finds or builds a question set, and chooses a game mode. Kids join using a game code on their own device, answer questions while playing, and then adults can review basic reports to see how they did.

An adult is usually needed to create the account, pick or design question sets, and launch games. Once a game is running, most children in the target age range can play independently while the adult observes or joins in.

Students should be able to read short questions and answer choices (or have a helper nearby), follow basic game instructions, and use a device to join games with a code. Adults will need to be comfortable selecting or creating question sets.

Blooket itself is highly customizable: parents and educators can write their own question sets, import from other platforms, or pull from a large public library. Because you control the content, you can adjust difficulty, topic, and pacing for each learner or group. Different game modes also let you dial competition up or down, assign solo homework, or keep everything live and collaborative.

For some kids with ADHD, Blooket’s short questions, fast feedback, and game rewards can boost focus and motivation. For others, the constant action and leaderboard can be distracting or overstimulating. Try using Blooket in brief bursts, pairing it with movement breaks, and choosing modes that minimize downtime between questions.

Blooket was not designed specifically for autistic learners, but some families find the predictable question-answer loop and visual structure helpful. Others may find the bright visuals, sound effects, or competitive elements overwhelming. We suggest starting with calmer game modes, shorter sessions, and plenty of pre-teaching about sportsmanship and winning/losing.

Blooket is not a structured intervention for dyscalculia, but it can provide extra practice with math facts and procedures once concepts have been taught elsewhere. Using slower modes and clear, well-designed question sets will help avoid overloading working memory.

Because Blooket relies heavily on reading on-screen text, it is not a structured reading intervention for dyslexia. However, it can still be used to review content if students have access to read-aloud tools, adult support, or carefully chosen short prompts and answer choices.

Blooket uses bright colors, motion, and sound, which some kids love and some kids with sensory processing differences may find intense. Families can turn sound down, choose simpler game modes, and keep sessions short to see whether the experience feels fun or overwhelming for their child.

Blooket is a flexible tool that can be paired with many different accommodations, but it is not a therapeutic program. We recommend families of kids with complex support needs try Blooket alongside trusted core curricula and observe how their child responds before relying on it heavily.

Many gifted learners enjoy Blooket’s challenge and variety. Adults can load in more advanced material, speed up game modes, or let kids create their own sets to deepen learning. It works best as a high-engagement review tool alongside richer reading, projects, and open-ended work rather than as a stand-alone curriculum.

For twice-exceptional learners, Blooket can be a fun, low-pressure way to practice material they already understand conceptually but need to review. Because you control the content, you can keep cognitive demand high while scaffolding reading, writing, or processing as needed.

Profoundly gifted students may appreciate how quickly Blooket can move and how easy it is to plug in advanced material. Many families invite these learners to help design their own sets or even host games for siblings as a leadership and teaching opportunity.

Blooket is not a structured intervention for dyscalculia, but it can provide extra practice with math facts and procedures once concepts have been taught elsewhere. Using slower modes and clear, well-designed question sets will help avoid overloading working memory.

Because Blooket relies heavily on reading on-screen text, it is not a structured reading intervention for dyslexia. However, it can still be used to review content if students have access to read-aloud tools, adult support, or carefully chosen short prompts and answer choices.

Because most answers are selected rather than written, Blooket can be easier for kids with dysgraphia than traditional worksheets. It does not replace explicit handwriting or written-expression support, but it can reduce writing load during review.

Blooket’s core Starter plan is free. Paid Blooket Plus subscriptions are managed directly through Blooket, and their terms state that subscription fees are generally non-refundable once paid. Families should always review the latest refund and cancellation policy on Blooket’s website before upgrading.

Blooket is not a full curriculum and won’t be enough on its own for families seeking a complete, step-by-step program. It may also be a poor fit for children who dislike competition, are easily dysregulated by screen time, or struggle to read short sentences independently.

For a similar style of online review game, families often look at Kahoot, Gimkit, or Quizizz. For a more content-rich, video-based supplement, BrainPOP or Crash Course-style lessons can pair well with occasional Blooket games. If you prefer screen-free practice, classic flashcards, board games, or card-based review like Brain Quest can fill a similar role without devices.

Blooket regularly adds new game modes, seasonal events, and platform tweaks. Families can expect the experience to evolve over time, with fresh ways to review content and occasional interface or reporting improvements.

Start with the free Starter plan and one simple game mode, then add more complexity over time. Many families like to keep Blooket as an occasional treat—once or twice a week—so it stays motivating without taking over every lesson.
