Take Learning to the Next Level with Fun & Captivating Quiz Game for Students

As Winston Churchill once said, he was always ready to learn but didn’t always like to be taught - we bet if he had Quizado, he would’ve had a much more enjoyable time.

But times have changed, and we now understand that fun can be a powerful catalyst for learning. Our quiz game is designed to harness this power and make learning an enjoyable experience for students.

Education has evolved beyond the traditional image of piles of books and pencils. Today, modern education establishments (region—and location-dependent) are integrating mobile devices like iPads and computers into their everyday curriculum.

Technology skills are crucial in the modern workplace, and mastering them early is becoming necessary. Disengagement from the learning process can lead to poor recall, low test scores, and stress in children.

This is where our quiz game comes in, offering an engaging and enjoyable learning experience.

So, let’s examine the benefits of fun in the learning process and how Quizado can help!

What are the benefits of fun in learning?

Increased Engagement from Students

When students are engaged in what they are studying, they retain and recall the information at a higher rate than children who aren’t/ When the fun is involved, it makes the learning process more enjoyable - keeping children engaged because they enjoy the process.

In most cases, teachers always aim to ensure their students have fun while learning. Now, though, there are more tools to help that happen. Quizado can help make things like pop quizzes exciting! Whoever thought that ‘tests’ could be fun?

Here are a couple of ways to add fun to the learning process: Games and gamification of learning using interactive games and quizzes.

Stress reduction

There has always been some level of stress involved in the learning process. When students know that there are exams and tests, they can become apprehensive about their performance.

When fun is injected into the learning process, students can learn without realizing it. Because they are so engaged with the activities, they pick up information and become deeply involved with the information they receive.

With Quizado, working as a team and finding the correct answer becomes stress-free. It feels more like a game, so even if used in grading, it doesn’t feel as weighted as a pen-and-paper test.

When students have fun, their body releases endorphins, which naturally combat stress and reduce anxiety. Quizado is designed to put fun into the learning process. Helping children to have the best learning outcome.

Increased creativity

Although almost every question in education has a single correct answer (of varying details based on age), how students get to that answer can vary. With book-based pen-and-paper learning and quizzes, students have less room to explore their options and think creatively.

When students are engaged in their learning activities, their minds are open to different ways of learning and thinking. Since there are different categories of learning: visual, auditory, writing/reading, and kinesthetic.

With Quizado, you tap into multiple learning styles - and that is just a tiny part of what makes the software great for education.

When children can lean into the way that they learn best and include something interactive, they will see an increased amount of creativity. And creativity in the learning process makes it more fun! This is an ideal loop for children of all ages.

Enhanced teamwork and social skills

When using Quizado, one setup requires the team to work together to get the correct answers to win. Teamwork is a massive part of the workplace, and part of getting ready for that is learning and improving those skills early in life.

A combination of fun and teamwork activities will give the strongest result. Quizado is designed to be used in multiple ways, but one of the most beneficial in small groups.

Small groups require the students to communicate and discuss the issue at hand so that they can win. The more often these skills are used, the stronger they become. The same is true for leadership skills—when the students take it in turns to be team captains.
