--- title: "Gimkit for Teachers: Kits From Any Document or Quiz" description: "Gimkit for teachers: get questions into a kit from a Word file, PDF, Google Doc or another quiz platform with Formswrite, and what Gimkit Pro really costs." canonical: https://formswrite.com/gimkit last-updated: 2026-10-27 --- Gimkit for teachers # Gimkit for teachers: get your questions into a kit faster Gimkit is a good way to drill facts, but a kit still starts with questions. Formswrite turns the worksheet, test or quiz you already have into a Gimkit import file, so you spend the time on the game and not on typing. [Make a Gimkit from a document](/product/documents-to-gimkit)[How to make a Gimkit](/blog/how-to-make-a-gimkit) ## Where Formswrite fits This page is about the part before the game: where the questions come from. For the basics of creating a kit, hosting live and assignments, [the guide on how to make a Gimkit](/blog/how-to-make-a-gimkit) covers it end to end. Gimkit has no public way for another tool to create a kit for you. What it does have is a spreadsheet import, and that is what Formswrite writes. You still press import inside Gimkit, and you still check the kit before you play it. ## Three ways to fill a kit - ### From a document Upload a Word file, PDF or Google Doc with questions in it. Formswrite reads them, shows every question in an editor and writes the Gimkit import file. [Open about From a document](/product/documents-to-gimkit) - ### From another quiz platform Already built the quiz in Kahoot, Blooket, Wayground or Quizlet? Import it into Formswrite and export it again for Gimkit. [Open about From another quiz platform](/convert/platforms) - ### From a spreadsheet you maintain If you keep questions in a sheet, see the exact columns Gimkit's import expects before you build one. [Open about From a spreadsheet you maintain](/formats/gimkit-csv) ## From a document to a kit 1. Pip ### Add your document Upload a Word file, PDF or Google Doc, or import a quiz from another platform. 2. Nova ### Review in the editor Fix wrong answers, add the wrong options Gimkit needs and see what will be skipped before anything leaves Formswrite. 3. Rio ### Export for Gimkit Choose Gimkit in the export list. The Gimkit export is on Formswrite's paid plans. 4. Kiki ### Import in Gimkit In Gimkit, create a new kit. Choose the spreadsheet import option and upload the .csv from Formswrite. Check the questions and save the kit. ## What happens to each question type Gimkit questions are multiple choice with one right answer and a few wrong ones. Here is how Formswrite treats everything else, so there are no surprises in the kit. - **Multiple choice** (Kept). Kept as one correct answer plus up to 3 wrong answers. - **Multiple answers** (Changed). Gimkit takes one correct answer per question, so only the first right answer is kept. - **True or false** (Changed). Kept as one correct and one wrong answer. - **Short answer and fill in the blank** (Left out). Skipped. Gimkit's spreadsheet needs at least one wrong answer. - **Essay and paragraph** (Left out). Skipped. Gimkit has no essay question. - **Ordering (puzzle, jumble)** (Left out). Skipped. Gimkit's spreadsheet has no ordering question. - **Matching** (Left out). Skipped. Gimkit's spreadsheet has no matching question. - **Numerical answer** (Fix first). Add wrong answers so it becomes multiple choice, or it is skipped. - **Poll and survey questions** (Fix first). Gimkit has no poll question, so the first answer is used as correct. Pick the right one or remove it. - **Flashcards (term and definition)** (Fix first). Add at least one wrong answer per card, or Gimkit's file skips it. - **Scales and grids** (Left out). Skipped. Gimkit has no scale question. ## Send to Gimkit with the Chrome extension With the Formswrite Chrome extension installed, a finished Gimkit export shows a Send to Gimkit button. Formswrite opens the Gimkit import page and attaches the file, or shows the steps. Without the extension you download the file and follow the same steps by hand. [About the extension](/chrome-extension) ## Gimkit Pro is Gimkit's own plan Gimkit Pro is sold by Gimkit, not by Formswrite, and buying Formswrite does not include it. It is the plan that adds all game modes, assignments, and images and audio on questions. Gimkit's help center lists Pro at $14.99 billed monthly or $59.88 billed once a year. Checked on 2026-10-27. Prices change, so confirm on gimkit.com before you buy. School and department licenses are set up through Gimkit Groups. Formswrite only creates the import file. It works with a free Gimkit Basic account too, and the kit then plays in whatever modes your Gimkit plan includes.

[Open about Chrome extension](/chrome-extension) ## Questions people ask Does Formswrite create the kit inside my Gimkit account? No. Gimkit has no way for another tool to create kits, so Formswrite writes a spreadsheet import file. You import it in Gimkit, or let the Chrome extension open the import page and attach the file. Do I need Gimkit Pro to use the file? The import is a Gimkit feature, and Formswrite does not know your Gimkit plan. Which game modes you can play depends on your Gimkit plan. Check gimkit.com for what each plan includes. Is the Gimkit export free in Formswrite? Importing and editing is free. The Gimkit file is a paid export on Formswrite. Sharing the quiz as a Formswrite form stays free. What if a question has no wrong answers? Gimkit's spreadsheet needs at least one wrong answer, so Formswrite skips those questions and lists them in the export summary. Add a wrong answer in the editor and they come through. ## Teachers and students in one place Teachers build the quiz from a document. Students answer it on any device. Formswrite grades it for you.
