What is a Quiz template?
A Quiz template is a ready-made format that teachers use to build multiple-choice activities in minutes. On Wordwall, teachers enter their questions and answers, then play the activity straight away. The same content can switch into a Gameshow quiz, Flash cards, or printable worksheet in one click. No app needed for students. Works across subjects, year groups, and any device.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Is the Quiz template free to use?
Yes. It's part of our free Basic plan, which includes 12 templates and lets you create up to 3 activities. A Standard subscription ($ 7.20 / bulan) removes that limit and adds AI generation, game options like timers and leaderboards, print to worksheet, and access to over 25 million teacher-created activities to search and adapt. A Pro subscription ($ 10.80 / bulan) adds 22 further templates, including Gameshow quiz, Wordsearch, Hangman, and Image quiz. You can start for free and upgrade when you need more.
How do I share a Quiz with my students?
Once your Quiz is ready, you can share it via direct link, QR code, Google Classroom, or embed. Share the link on your class platform, display the QR code on your screen, push it to Google Classroom directly, or embed it in your school's LMS. Students don't need an account to play.
Can students play on a phone or tablet?
Yes. It runs in any browser, so there's no app download or student login required. Students can join from a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.
Can I edit a Quiz after I've published it?
Yes. You can edit your questions, answers, and settings at any time. Changes update straight away and the share link stays the same.
What's the difference between the Quiz template and Find the match?
Both test recall, but in different ways. Quiz presents a question and asks students to select the correct answer from multiple options. Find the match asks students to tap items to pair them. It works well for definitions, translations, and image-to-label activities. You can switch between the two with one click without re-entering your content.
Can I add images to my Quiz questions?
Yes. You can add images to both questions and answer choices. This works well for science diagrams, geography maps, art history, and any subject where visual recognition matters.
How do I see which students got which answers right?
The results dashboard shows responses per student and per question. You can see which questions the class struggled with and which students need follow-up. Results are stored in your account after each session.
Can I print my Quiz as a worksheet?
Yes, on Standard and Pro plans. Click Print from the activity screen and we'll generate a formatted paper version of your Quiz. Multiple choice layout, ready to hand out.
Can I set a timer or add a leaderboard to my Quiz?
Yes, on Standard and Pro plans. The Options panel lets you set a count-up or count-down timer, shuffle question and answer order, set a number of lives, allow retries after wrong answers, and toggle a leaderboard showing rank, score, and time.
Can I use Wordwall on a video call or for 1-to-1 tutoring?
Yes. Share your screen and students follow along, or send them the direct link to play on their own device at the same time. The embed option also works inside virtual classroom tools.
