I'm in the process of starting to use plickers and trying to get them all organized and have a few questions for those of you that use them frequently!
1. Where/How do you store them in your room?
2. Can you punch holes in the upper corner for ring hook to hang on a hook and it not interfere with the scanning?
Another use of plickers is gathering student opinions or responses in relation to a book, event, or question. Think of any question you have asked in the classroom related to a book. If you take that same question and make it a multiple choice question, you can ask it and get all students answering with the Plickers. Almost the same question with more engagement from your students.
For each statement I have written 2 to 5 questions on plickers which can then be used to test students understanding. The amount of questions the student gets correct leads to a RAG rating. Plickers, allows spreadsheets to be easily produced from data collected during sessions this can then be
According to plickers.com, Plickers is a low-tech way for teachers to collect instant multiple-choice responses from students, without requiring them to have computers or tablets. It features a printed out card with a design unique to each student, the Plickers app allows teachers to scan the student responses and respond to it in real-time.
Plickers typically work well in smaller courses. However, in a large enrollment course students can work in groups, and designate one person to raise a card upon reaching consensus. Since each card is unique, Plickers work especially well when discussing sensitive topics. Cards can be reused in different courses, and are a good way to spark discussion in class.

I am curious how young your students are when you teach them to use plickers cards? I absolutely LOVE using plickers cards for my 3-5 kids but I have never attempted it with my littles and I am curious if you have and how you go about it? Are there any changes you make to your delivery or how they are used? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Thanks for posting this plickers info. I am a K-12 PE Specialist and new to plickers. I am wondering if there are resources like yours that have already created questions for assessment. I can certainly do my own, but like these fitnessgram questions, I am guessing there is a lot of good information already out there.
I like that it offers an alternative to pencil and paper. We have to assess as part of our curriculum, and I like the plickers format. Easy to apply at the end of a class after cool-down prior to dismissal.
You could use plagnets (magnetised plickers) which are based on a white board. Students move their plicker next to their answer choice/chosen level of understanding and then you scan the codes on the board.
