The best Wordwall alternatives in 2026
If Wordwall's free plan, which allows 3 activities for the life of the account (deleted ones still count), is what's holding you back, these tools let you keep making classroom games. Each entry says what it's best for and what its free plan allows, with a source for every fact.

Questions teachers ask
Is there a free Wordwall alternative with no activity limit?
Yes. Educaplay's free plan lets you make unlimited games, with ads for students, and Blooket's allows unlimited question sets. Chalkplay's free plan keeps up to 3 activities at a time, and unlike Wordwall's, deleting one frees its place. Check each tool's free-plan limits above.
Why are people looking for Wordwall alternatives?
Mostly the free plan: Wordwall's allows 3 activities for the life of the account (deleted ones still count), and by May 2025, six templates, including Gameshow quiz, Wordsearch and Labelled diagram, had moved to Pro only, leaving 12 free templates.
Which alternative is best for team games on one screen?
Baamboozle is built for that: whole-class team games on one projected screen, with no student devices or logins. Chalkplay's Team board template does it too, and its final standings show every team's points.
Which alternative is best for live quizzes?
Kahoot! and Wayground are built around live quizzes. Chalkplay runs live games in most of its templates, on every plan.
