# How to make a classroom game with AI

## Turn a lesson into a quiz, a race or a puzzle your students play in the browser: describe it in plain words, share one link, and nobody needs an account to play.

A game is a good way to review a lesson: students answer more questions, and they ask for another round. On Go Bananas you describe the game you want and an AI builds it in a few minutes. It runs in any browser, on the classroom's laptops, Chromebooks, tablets or phones, with nothing to install.

## Pick a kind of game that fits the lesson

- **A quiz with a twist.** Questions appear on falling asteroids, balloons or doors, and students hit the right answer. Good for times tables, capitals, vocabulary and dates.
- **A matching game.** Match words to pictures, countries to flags, elements to symbols, events to years.
- **A sorting game.** Drag items into the right group: mammals and reptiles, nouns and verbs, solids, liquids and gases.
- **A race.** Each right answer moves a car, a snail or a rocket forward. Students race the clock, or each other.
- **A room quiz.** Everyone answers on their own device at the same time, and the fastest right answers score most. See [how to make a multiplayer game](/guides/multiplayer-games).

## Describe it with your questions in it

Put the content of the lesson in the description, so the game asks exactly what you taught. For example:

> A quiz game for 10-year-olds about the planets. A rocket flies through space and three planets appear with answers on them; steer into the right one. 12 questions, in random order: "Which planet is closest to the Sun?" (Mercury), "Which planet is the largest?" (Jupiter), "Which planet has the most famous rings?" (Saturn)... Show the right answer after each question, and a score out of 12 at the end. Big text, bright colors, works with a mouse and on touch screens.

A few things that help:

- **Say the age.** It changes the wording, the speed and the size of the text.
- **List the questions and answers.** Or ask the AI to write them about a topic, and check them before class.
- **Say how it ends.** A score out of 12, a timer, three lives.
- **Ask for feedback.** "Show the right answer after a mistake" turns the game into practice, not only a test.

Then change it by chatting, one thing at a time: "make it slower", "add five questions about the moons", "make the text bigger".

## Share it with the class

Publish the game, then send its link in your class's usual place, or show the QR code (**More**, then **QR code to play on a phone**) on the board for students to scan. Students play in their browser without an account.

Publishing makes a game public: anyone with the link can play it, and it can appear in the games list. Keep students' names, photos and anything private out of your games.

## Make the next one faster

Once a game works, it's a template: next week, open it and ask for new questions on the next topic. Students already know how to play, so the time goes on the lesson.
