Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a page, and the quiz is built from that content.

Answers and explanations

Every question comes with the correct answer and a one-sentence reason, so kids learn why an answer is right.

Choose the format

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then study in the browser or export when you need a printed copy.

How it works

Upload your source

Add the lesson, fact sheet or reading your child is working on.

Pick the question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions and how many you want.

Study or export

Take the quiz in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF or DOCX on Plus.

Generating from your own material means the questions reflect the facts your child actually needs, such as the planets in a unit on space or the capitals in a geography chapter. Each answer comes with a short explanation, which turns a quick guess into a small lesson.

Once the quiz is ready, you can keep practicing with the same material, adjusting the difficulty as your child improves.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a kids general knowledge quiz have?

Most children stay focused with 10 to 20 questions. A mix of easy and harder items usually works better than a long list at one difficulty.

Do kids learn more when the quiz includes explanations?

Yes, explanations help because a child who misses a question sees the reason for the right answer. Reading the explanation right after a wrong guess is especially useful.
