Case Study: Empatico empowers students’ social-emotional learning with Kahoot!

Empatico supports hundreds of thousands of students worldwide to develop social emotional skills with Kahoot!

Empatico, a global nonprofit focused on helping students build empathy and social-emotional skills, needed a way to make SEL resources easier for educators to use and more engaging for learners in hybrid, virtual, and in-class settings. To address this challenge, Empatico partnered with Kahoot! and Kahoot! Academy to create ready-to-use, game-based learning activities that could support classroom needs around social-emotional learning.

With Kahoot!, Empatico published 40 SEL-focused kahoots covering topics like cooperation, compassion, digital citizenship, and global cultures, and experimented with formats such as warm-up games and pre-/post-program surveys. The results were strong: Empatico engaged more than 1.8 million non-unique participants across nearly 480,000 hosted games, boosted experimentation with new engagement methods, and helped educators save time while delivering more interactive, low-prep learning experiences.
