Start a Play Now Lesson

If Play Now appears on your Dashboard, you can use it to prepare a short activity and start teaching with a class.

Play Now setup with the classroom choice and Start Play Now control

Prepare your activity

  1. In My Dashboard, enter a topic or paste your notes. You can also add teaching material.
  2. Select Play Now, then wait for your activity to be prepared.
  3. Review the questions and answers. Select an activity to check or change what students will see. You can choose a different game before starting.

Choose where students join

Under Classroom, select Quick room for a new student link, or Existing classroom to use a class you already teach. An existing classroom keeps its usual student link and assigned decks. Check your choice, then select Start Play Now.

The teacher view opens with the join information. Show the link or QR code to your students so they can join on their own devices. Once they arrive, use the teacher controls to start the class game. Choose Full Lesson when you need a longer sequence of slides and activities.
