If you've ever used Quizizz to engage students with interactive quizzes and learning games, you'll love the content below. After 10 years of development, Quizizz has officially changed its name to Wayground, offering even more tools to support teaching, practice, and assessment—all in a fun and student-centered way.

The name may have changed, but the platform still offers everything teachers loved about Quizizz, plus new features designed to meet the evolving needs of today's classrooms.

Here's how to use Wayground to enhance your learning, along with tips to get started, create your own quizzes, and explore all the new possibilities.

What is Wayground?

Wayground is primarily a cloud-based teaching and quiz creation tool that functions like an educational game show. This question-and-answer system works across web browsers, Chrome browsers, as well as apps for iPhone and Android.

From a student's perspective, learning becomes more enjoyable with the addition of games, and they can take tests directly on their personal devices. Students don't need to create accounts; they simply enter an access code to participate, saving time and ensuring privacy.

Tips for using Wayground effectively

Take your time searching.

Early assessment

Start the class (or the semester) with a quiz to assess students' understanding. The results will help you adjust your teaching methods accordingly.

Send test results to parents via email (monthly or according to schedule). This helps motivate students and provides them with closer monitoring from their families.
