How to import a quiz into Quizizz from Word, Google Forms, Canvas and more

Creating a quiz question by question on Quizizz is tedious and cumbersome. This article will show you how you can create a Quizizz quiz by importing from your Word document, Canvas, Google Forms, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, Kahoot, Quizlet, Blooket or Gimkit.

Step 1: Login to your Quizizz dashboard, then click on + Create

Login into your Quizizz dashboard, then on the top left corner click on + Create.

Step 2: Click on Assessment activity type

A menu of possible Quizizz activity types would appear. Click on Assessment activity type.

A menu of creation methods will appear in front of you. Click on Import worksheets/questions.

A new sub-menu will appear. Click on Spreadsheet on the top right hand corner.

Our task now is to convert your quiz -- wherever it is and in whatever format -- into what Quizizz expects, which is a spreadsheet in this case.
