    Kahoot
    In my old high school, we would use Kahoot to prepare for quizzes and exams. The whole class would log in and would answer a multiple choice question. The fastest person to answer the most questions wins first place. I enjoyed it because it's really competitive and class would get crazy with everyone yelling and trying to win.
