Kit editor updates & copying questions

We made a few updates to the Gimkit Live kit editor to save you time and make it easier to use. 

The update requested most by educators?

A quick way to write and re-write similar question & answer combos.

So, we added it in. Now, you can copy questions with just a click!


Learn about all of our kit editor updates here.

📚 Introducing...School Library!

The Gimkit Live School Library gives you a place to discover kits made by educators at your school.

If another teacher at your school mentions that they made a Kit, you can check the School Library for it.

Or, if you're new to Gimkit and teachers in your building already use Gimkit, visit the School Library to access their kits!

To get to your school's library, go to your Gimkit Live dashboard and click on School Library in the left panel.

Once you're in your school's library, you'll see a list of all kits created by teachers at your school, organized by creation date.

If you have any other questions at all, check out our School Library article here or reach out at hello@gimkit.com!

Welcome back to school — have fun sharing and exploring! 🥳 ✨ 📚

End of Year Special and a BIG thank you!


From all four of us here, thank you for your support this school year.

Without your suggestions, moral support, recommendations to other teachers, and paid memberships as the ultimate vote of confidence, there wouldn't be a Gimkit.

We made an End of Year Special highlighting some of the things we added this year to support your incredible work. Check it out above and test your Gimkit knowledge!

And if you want to check out the full list of everything we added to Gimkit this school year, check out this blog post.

Thank you again and enjoy your break! We'll see you in a few months! 👋

💜 Introducing GiveKit: Funding for your classroom!

It's Teacher Appreciation Week and we want to give a big thank you! 🎉

But a simple thank you isn't enough, especially this year.

While we get to sit in air-conditioned rooms, clicking and pressing keys, you all have had to teach through a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.

So, for Teacher Appreciation Week, we're starting a new program that will last much longer than just a week. We call it GiveKit.

With GiveKit, we're donating $500 in funding every single month to help pay for your school materials, first aid kits, tech tools, furniture. Whatever it might be to help you and your students.

To kickstart things, for this week only, we'll be giving $500 a day.

You can learn more about GiveKit and apply here!

Again, from all four of us here, thank you. We're wishing you the best for the end of the school year. You got this!

💫 New game mode - Come Back!


With the brand new Come Back mode, your students can purchase and use all removed powerups. 

Yep, that also includes music powerups!

Like all new modes, Come Back will be available for a limited time. After some time out of the game, it'll be back as a Forever Mode. 

Think of our new mode releases like theatrical movie releases; it's here for a bit, it's gone for a bit, then it's back forever!

Hop in and have fun with all the wacky and fun powerups no longer available in core modes!

Introducing Smart Repetition!


Question repetition has been one of Gimkit Live's defining features since the beginning. And because repetition is such a big part of Gimkit Live, improving the way questions repeat has become the most requested feature in our feedback center.

Thanks to all of those suggestions and upvotes we built Smart Repetition, which repeats questions students answered incorrectly more frequently and is available in Gimkit Live now.

Check out Josh's video (above) to learn more about why we built Smart Repetition and how it works!
