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.

See it in action

Cards find their categories - and you watch progress live

Participants join with a code or QR code and drag the shuffled term cards into the right categories, then submit their result. The facilitator watches live how many cards each participant has placed and who has already finished - with an optional time limit counting down.
