How to build a kids' quiz from your own material

Teachers and volunteers often want a quiz they can run with a group of kids, and the fastest way to build one is from material you already have. DeckOwl does not list a live game mode, but it can turn your own notes into Gimkit-style practice for kids with multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and explanations.

Use questions written from your own lesson, so the quiz matches what kids were taught.
Keep wording short and concrete for younger readers, and check reading level before you share.
Read each explanation aloud after a round to correct misconceptions as a group.
Save time by generating from a photo of a worksheet instead of retyping it.

Example 4th grade science quiz questions

What is the process called when liquid water turns into water vapor?Evaporation. Heat from the sun turns liquid water into vapor, which rises into the air.

Which layer of Earth is the thinnest?The crust. It is the outermost solid layer and is much thinner than the mantle or the core.

True or false: plants make their own food using sunlight.True. Through photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make sugar.

What do we call animals that eat only plants?Herbivores. Their diets are made up of plant material such as leaves, seeds and fruit.

Why do we see different shapes of the Moon over a month?Because the Moon orbits Earth, and we see different amounts of its sunlit half from our view.

Generate the full set

Upload what you already have

Use PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or a photo of a worksheet. Text recognition reads the page so you do not retype anything.

Explanations with every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false or short answer question includes a short explanation, so kids learn why an answer is right, not just which one it is.

Export for your classroom

Export to PDF or DOCX to print, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML to load into a learning management system. Export requires a paid plan.

How it works

Upload your material

Add your lesson slides, notes or a PDF chapter. Images of pages work too.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions that fit the age group and the length of your session.

Review and export

Check the questions for accuracy and wording, then study in the browser or export the set for your group.

Start by uploading a PDF, slide deck, text file or a photo of a worksheet. DeckOwl reads the text and writes questions with a short explanation for each answer, so a child who misses one can see the reason. Review the set before you use it, since the questions reflect what you uploaded.

Keep sessions short. A set of five to ten questions is usually enough for a warm-up or review round, and you can generate a new set from the next lesson when the group is ready.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz for kids have?

Five to ten questions work well for most warm-up or review rounds, since children can finish while they are still focused. Longer sets are easier to split across two sessions than to run in one sitting.

What question types work best for younger kids?

Multiple-choice and true/false questions with short, concrete wording are quick for younger children to answer and easy to review together. Open questions suit older students who can explain their reasoning.

Can I export the quiz for my class?

Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV requires the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export require Pro at $14.99/month. Students with a school email get 40% off.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports.
