Ad-free drawing game for students and classrooms
Create a private room and share a link—students start in seconds. It’s one of the easiest games for students to run during warm-ups, vocabulary & spelling review, brain breaks, ESL speaking practice, and quick creative challenges. Works on laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and phones.
How it works
Create a private room
Choose a ready-made list or paste your vocab.
Share the join link
No accounts, emails, or setup.
Play short rounds
2–5 minutes = focus + recall.
Built for classrooms — safety first
Safe by default
- Curated, classroom-appropriate word database — plus 12 ready-made teacher word lists and your own custom lists. No community-submitted word lists, unlike open drawing sites.
- Private rooms — no strangers. You control who joins, and you can set your own room code (one per class, e.g. MRSK7).
- No student accounts or emails — students join by link. No student PII collected.
- Profanity filter toggle covers chat and guesses.
Teacher controls built in
- “Only teacher draws” and “teacher never draws” modes — run it as a demo, or let the class do all the drawing.
- Spectator / projector link — show the game on the classroom screen without playing from it.
- Adjust the number of rounds mid-game to land the finish right on the bell.
- Per-room leaderboards you can reset each period, and Teams mode for large classes.
Kahoot!’s free plan now caps live games at 10 players (as of August 2026). Drawize free rooms have no player cap — your whole class joins free, and ad-free hosting covers up to 40 students per room.
