Share Codes and Class Links for Your Slides

Prepare a game at home, then start it in class with one click from your slides. A share code also lets colleagues use your questions in any game.

  1. Open the game you want to play in class and press โœ๏ธ Edit questions.
  2. Set up the questions, and choose the teams, timer and other settings the way you want them in class.
  3. Press ๐Ÿ”— Share code & class link, give the set a name and press Make share code.
  4. Copy the class link. It looks like classroom-games.net/play/quiz-show/?c=K7Q2MX.

  • PowerPoint: select a word, button or picture, choose Insert โ†’ Link (or press Ctrl+K), paste the link and press OK.
  • Keynote: select the text or shape, choose Format โ†’ Add Link โ†’ Webpage and paste the link.
  • Google Slides: select the text or shape, press Ctrl+K and paste the link.
  • WPS Presentation: select the text or picture, choose Insert โ†’ Hyperlink and paste the link.

In class, click the link while the slideshow is running. The game opens in the browser with your questions and settings loaded and the answer list closed. Press โ›ถ Full screen and start.

TipUse a big friendly button on the slide, like a picture of the game or the words โ€œLetโ€™s play!โ€, so it is easy to hit on a smartboard.

Share with colleagues

Send the six-character code. Your colleague opens any game, presses ๐Ÿ“š Question library and types the code under Have a share code?. The questions are converted to fit that game where possible. Codes can also be typed on the Question sets page.

Good to know

  • A code always opens the version you saved. If you change the questions, make a new code and update the link.
  • Codes donโ€™t expire while they are used. A code nobody has opened for a year is deleted.
  • Anyone with the code or link can see the questions, so donโ€™t put studentsโ€™ names or other private information in a shared list.

Questions teachers ask

Frequently asked questions

Does the class link work on the classroom computer without any setup?

Yes. Nothing needs to be saved on the classroom computer beforehand; the link brings the questions and settings with it.

Which games can I share?

Every online game, the live quiz, and the Jeopardy, Hangman, Bingo, Crossword and Word Search tools.

Can I edit a shared set later?

Codes are read-only so a link in your slides never changes by surprise. Edit the list and make a new code.
