Case Study: Texas State Junior Classical League boosts student engagement and event excitement with Kahoot!

Learn extra loud! Liven up school events with a Kahoot! tournament

The Texas State Junior Classical League (TSJCL), a statewide chapter that brings thousands of Latin and Greek students to its annual convention, wanted to make its two-day event more memorable and better engage students across different ability levels. Kahoot! partnered with TSJCL to deliver a Kahoot! gaming tournament (using tools like Kahoot! Pro for schools) to inject fun, competition, and interactive learning into the convention.

Kahoot! implemented a three-stage tournament—pre-event mobile challenges to build anticipation and collect report data to shortlist finalists, live semi-finals in a large room, and a dramatic final onstage—while advising on naming conventions, A/V setup, and prize incentives. The Kahoot! event boosted student and spectator engagement and event energy, provided measurable selection data via exported reports, and rewarded top performers with gift cards and Kahoot! swag, creating a scalable model for future school and district events.
