A tool for teachers to make interactive activities in minutes, with 30+ templates such as quizzes, matching, flashcards and group sorting. Teachers show them on a classroom screen, share a link for students on their own devices, or print them as worksheets. A child plays an activity a teacher shares; the free plan lets a teacher make three activities, and paid plans remove that limit.
