**EDIT: March 2020
Please note that the Flippity add-on for Google Sheets is no longer available. More info on that here. That being said you can still use the templates…PHEW…I know, right?!
Here’s a quick step-by-step to walk you through the new process to using Flippity:
1) Visit https://flippity.net/
2) Choose your template and click on “instructions”
3) Once there, you will have step-by-step instruction as to how to use the template. Here’s a sample instruction page for the Quiz Show:
4) That’s it! I’m glad we can continue to use this awesome tool!
Thanks for reading!
Original post:
Are you a teacher looking for a fun and easy way to make online class groupings, flash cards, quiz game templates and more for your classroom? Look no further, check out the Flippity Add-On for Google Sheets!
Step-by-step instructions: Out of date, please see instructions above!
1) Open Google Sheets.
2) Click “Add-ons” > “Get add-ons…”
3) Search the word “Flippity” in the Add-ons search (top right).
4) Click on the blue “FREE” button to add the Add-on.
5) Go back into Google Sheets. Click “Add-ons” > Flippity > Pick a template. (I chose Quiz Show)
6) Edit your template to add quiz show questions that match your subject/curriculum.
7) Once finished editing the template to your needs, click “Add-ons” > “Flippity” > Flippity.net URL
8) Click on the blue link to activate your template and start playing your quiz game. Here’s a French Quiz Show I made about the movie “Le petit Nicolas”. You’ll notice you can change the number of teams at the bottom with the + – buttons, and there are even sound effects for correct/wrong answers!
Flippity Add-on’s Random Name Picker
The Random Name Picker in the Flippity Add-on is another great template tool for classrooms! Follow the same steps above, except for this one (step 6) you edit in the names of the students in your class on the Google Sheet. You’ll be able to easily make groups or teams in the click of a button! Here’s a short video of the name picker in action:
You can also try and see demos of the templates from the Flippity.net website.
Thanks to Kim Pollishuke for introducing me to Flippity with her winning BIT Slam at Bring IT Together Conference 2016! I also took home a demo slam win with Flippity Add-On at TDSB’s Google Camp in March 2017. If that doesn’t prove how flippin’ awesome this tool is, I don’t know what else will. Give it a try!
