Would-you-rather poll for grades 6–8
Use this screen as a brain break, icebreaker, or transition during any class period. Students vote from their own devices, see instant results, and get to know each other in a fun way.
The board shows a poll question, a spinner wheel with more prompts, and a timer to keep things moving. It works well for middle schoolers who enjoy sharing opinions and seeing what classmates think.
Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.
