Same idea, a team quiz on the board with no pupil devices, but two differences. The teams come straight from your saved class, so you are not typing names in, and every game has wildcards, Bonus, Steal, Sabotage and Double, that keep the losing team in it until the end. Being honest about the trade: in Quizmaster, hosting the ready-made quizzes is free, but writing your own questions or generating a quiz on any topic is a Pro feature, whereas Baamboozle lets you build your own on its free plan.
Pick a ready-made quiz, or on Pro generate one on any topic or write your own. Split the class into teams, using your saved class if you have one signed in, and host it on the whiteboard. Answer together, watch the live scores, and let the wildcards land, a Steal to snatch points, a Sabotage to knock a team back, a Double to gamble. It runs entirely on the board, so there are no pupil devices and no accounts.
Hosting Quizmaster's ready-made quizzes as team games is free. Saving your first class for the teams is free too. Sage Teachers Pro adds writing your own questions and generating a quiz on any topic, plus unlimited saved classes. Everything is played on the board with no pupil accounts, ever.
