Activity Types

TeachersFlow has five types of interactive activities. Students join via QR code or link — no account needed. You can monitor responses in real time and view results after the activity expires.

Test

Multiple choice, true/false, checkbox, and written questions with points and correct answers where applicable. Set the due date and time before publishing. Results show individual scores and correct/incorrect breakdowns per question.

Best for: end-of-lesson knowledge checks, unit reviews, quick formative assessment of factual understanding.

Assignment

Students respond to the questions you set and hand their work in, on their own or split into teams. Supports text responses and document answers students write in the app.

Best for: homework and projects, group assignments, peer assessment, collaborative problem-solving, any task where you want teams rather than individuals to respond.

Questionnaire

Open-ended or rating-scale questions where there is no single correct answer. Each response belongs to the student who selected their name, and the result can be saved in that student's record.

Best for: named student self-assessment, reflections, exit tickets, and feedback that should remain with an individual student's progress.

Anonymous Survey

The same flexible question builder as Questionnaire, without asking students to select their name. Choice questions show class-wide counts and percentages, while text questions show a list of anonymous responses. Results stay on the activity and are not copied into individual student records.

TeachersFlow does not attach roster names to these responses. A respondent can still identify themselves in written text, and joining without student accounts means the activity cannot verify that each response came from a different person.

Best for: honest class check-ins, lesson feedback, sensitive discussions, confidence ratings, and questions where seeing the overall pattern matters more than knowing who answered.

Keyword Collector

Students submit one or more short words or phrases in response to a prompt. Results display as a weighted list. Low pressure — no right or wrong answer.

Best for: activating prior knowledge at the start of a lesson, vocabulary brainstorming, gauging what students already associate with a new topic, warm-up activities.
