How to use these questions in Gimkit

In Gimkit, a set of questions is called a kit. You can build a kit by typing questions in the kit editor, by importing a spreadsheet, or by pulling in questions from Gimkit's Question Bank. Here are the fastest ways to get these kits into your classroom.

Step 1: Export the kit with one click

Under each interactive quiz, use the Gimkit export button. The questions, answer options and correct answers are carried over, so there is nothing to retype. The same buttons also export to Kahoot, Blooket and Google Forms. Exporting is a paid Formswrite feature.

Step 2: Or import a spreadsheet in Gimkit

Gimkit can create a kit from a CSV file. In the kit editor, choose the option to import from a spreadsheet and download Gimkit's template. Put each question in its own row, with the correct answer and the incorrect answers in the columns the template provides, then save the file as CSV and upload it. Gimkit's help center notes that most import errors come from putting information in the wrong columns, so use the template as is and only fill in the answer columns.

Step 3: Or type the questions into the kit editor

For a short review, you can create a new kit, add each question and its four options by hand, and mark the correct one. With 20 questions this takes a while, which is why the export or spreadsheet route is usually faster.

Step 4: Convert your own worksheets with Formswrite

Already have review questions in a Google Doc, Word file, PDF or spreadsheet? Upload it to Formswrite's documents to Gimkit converter. Formswrite reads the questions and correct answers and builds a Gimkit-ready set you import in minutes. The guide on turning Google Docs into a Gimkit shows the full workflow.

Step 5: Host the game

Save the kit, pick a game mode, and share the join code. Students answer questions to earn in-game money and buy upgrades, so a 20-question kit can carry a full review session.

Tips for running these kits in class

Play once to learn, once to master. Gimkit repeats questions during a game, so students see missed questions again and improve.
Review the explanations afterward. Put two or three commonly missed questions on the board and walk through the explanation lines together.
Split long kits by topic. Make separate kits for fractions, integers or cells if you want a focused 10-minute warm-up.
Allow scratch paper for math. The equations and geometry questions are designed to be solved, not guessed.
Use it as a pre-test. Run the kit before a unit and again after to see growth.

FAQ

What grade level are these Gimkit questions for?

Both kits are written for middle school, roughly grades 6 to 8. The math kit leans toward grade 6 and 7 content such as fractions, ratios, integers and one-step and two-step equations.

How do I import questions into Gimkit?

You can export the kits on this page to Gimkit with one click, import a CSV file using Gimkit's spreadsheet template in the kit editor, or type questions in manually. Formswrite can also convert your own documents into a Gimkit-ready set.

Are these science questions aligned to NGSS?

The topics follow NGSS middle school areas, including cells, forces and motion, ecosystems, weather and matter. They are review questions rather than full performance tasks, so pair them with your own labs and investigations.

Can I edit these kits after exporting them?

Yes. Once the questions are in Gimkit, you can edit, delete or add questions in the kit editor like any other kit.

Can I use these questions in Kahoot or Blooket instead?

Yes. The same export buttons send each kit to Kahoot, Blooket or Google Forms. Exports are included in Formswrite's paid plans, and you can always copy the questions by hand from this page.

Is Formswrite free for teachers?

Formswrite has a free plan for building quizzes in its own form format and for flashcards. Exporting to Gimkit, Kahoot, Blooket and Google Forms requires a paid plan.
