Why teachers switch
Fair, fast and made for real classrooms
A free plan you can teach with
Unlimited activities and 16 templates, free forever. No ads are ever shown to your students.
Live play beyond quizzes
Run match ups, word searches and arcade games live on student devices, not just multiple choice.
Results, even from the board
Team games played on one screen still save scores per team, so you know what to reteach tomorrow.
Built for phones first
Most students play on a phone. Every template is designed for small screens and slow connections.
Your language, your prices
The editor and games run in many languages, and plan prices follow local salaries, not US ones.
Private by default
No student accounts or emails needed. Schools get a data processing agreement and admin controls.
Free for every teacher. Pro when you want more.
Unlimited activities on the free plan. Pro unlocks all 33 templates, bigger live games and unlimited AI drafts, from $4 a month.
Questions
Good to know
Is Chalkplay really free?
Yes. The free plan has no limit on how many activities you make. It includes 16 templates, live games for up to 40 players and homework results for 30 days. Pro adds the other 17 templates and more.
What does "switch template" mean?
Your content isn't locked to one game. Write a list of word pairs once, then turn it into a match up, a memory game, a crossword or flash cards with one click. Templates that need a different kind of content adapt it for you.
Do my students need an account?
No. Students join with a link or a 6-digit code and type their name. If your school prefers, you can require Google or Microsoft sign-in for assignments.
Can I use it with Google Classroom or my LMS?
You can share assignments to Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams on any plan. Grade passback to Canvas, Moodle and other LTI platforms comes with school plans.
Can I print the activities?
Yes. Most templates have a printable version: worksheets, card sets and answer keys, sized for A4 or US Letter.
