From Quiz to Kahoot: Export XLSX and Run Live Classroom Games

Why Use Kahoot for Classroom Quizzes?

Kahoot turns quizzes into live games—students answer on their phones, see a leaderboard, and stay engaged. It's ideal for review sessions, icebreakers, or end-of-unit fun. Exporting from SimplTests as XLSX means you can generate questions with AI, then import them into Kahoot in minutes. No retyping, no manual formatting.

1. Create a Multiple Choice Test

Go to Create Test and build your quiz using multiple choice questions only—Kahoot doesn't support true/false or short answer. Use AI to generate them or add manually. Save your test to Saved Tests.

2. Export to Kahoot XLSX

Open your saved test, click Export, and choose Kahoot. SimplTests will generate an XLSX (Excel) file in Kahoot's spreadsheet format. Download it to your computer.

3. Import into Kahoot

Log in at kahoot.com, click Create, and select Kahoot as the question type. Click + Add → Import, then upload your XLSX file. Kahoot will add the questions to your new kahoot. Save and you're ready to host a live game.

1. Go to kahoot.com and sign in.
2. Click Create and select Kahoot as the question type.
3. Click + Add → Import.
4. Upload the XLSX file you downloaded from SimplTests.
5. Save your kahoot—ready to play.

Tips and Best Practices

• Kahoot only supports multiple choice—ensure your SimplTests quiz uses MC questions only.
• Keep questions short; Kahoot displays them on screen for a limited time.
• Test your kahoot in preview mode before hosting a live game with students.
