Active Learning for Every Classroom
Kahoot!
Game-Based Learning Platform
A quiz checks what they remember.
A lesson changes how they think.
With Flip Education
Students work in groups to investigate a historical event from multiple perspectives. They build arguments and present findings to the class while the teacher facilitates using a structured plan.
With Kahoot!
Students race to answer multiple-choice questions on their phones. A leaderboard tracks the fastest. Energy is high, but the focus remains on basic recall.

Where Flip Leads
What Flip does better
Complete lessons, not just quizzes
Kahoot creates a 10-minute revision game. Flip creates a full 45-minute lesson with clear objectives, activities, handouts, and an exit ticket: a total teaching experience.
48 research-backed methodologies
From Socratic seminars to jigsaw activities and gallery walks, every Flip lesson is structured around a pedagogy that encourages students to think critically.
No screens required
Flip lessons work perfectly with printed materials and face-to-face interaction. Students debate and collaborate without needing a personal device in hand.
SEL competencies built in
Self-awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making: every Flip lesson maps to SEL competencies automatically, which Kahoot does not address.
Curriculum alignment for India
Aligned with standards across 10 countries including India (CBSE/NCERT). Standards are woven into the lesson generation process from the start.
Deep learning over rote recall
Kahoot tests memory. Flip activities build understanding through analysis and evaluation, targeting higher-order thinking skills in Bloom's Taxonomy.
Honest Acknowledgement
Where Kahoot! wins
We think Flip is the better lesson planning tool. We also think you should know what it doesn’t do yet.
Instant energy and excitement
Kahoot's competitive quiz format creates immediate buzz. The music, countdown timers, and leaderboards are excellent for quick-burst engagement in class.
Student-facing platform
Students join on their own devices and interact in real time. Flip focuses on teacher-led facilitation rather than a student digital interface.
Massive content library
Millions of teacher-created kahoots are available to browse and play. Finding a quick revision game for any school topic takes only a few seconds.
