Match categories
Participants drag cards into the right categories while you watch their progress live.

What is Match categories?
In this exercise you define categories and the terms that belong to them. You save a set to the library and run sessions from it, sharing a code or a QR code.
Participants drag shuffled term cards into the right categories and submit their result. You see live who matched how many correctly and who has finished. You can set a time limit with auto-finish, or end the exercise manually.
