Officials use their smartphones to log into the game created by you or "borrowed" from the KAHOOT community. True/False or multiple choice questions can be paired with a picture or a YouTube video (internet/wi-fi is needed).

KAHOOT is free and students/officials like it because it is competitive (points awarded) and interactive.

Check with some of the teachers in your group because many of them use this in their classrooms and they would be able to create a 10 question KAHOOT in less than an hour.

We used this at our last meeting on Monday and the KAHOOT included new rules questions and some important topics that the board wanted covered such as basket interference and backcourt violations.

Our trainer used KAHOOT a few times for rules meetings and trainings. It is very interactive which keeps people engaged. It also shows how many of the participants were right or wrong giving the trainer a better idea on which rules or case book plays need emphasis. I thought it was a great tool.
