How to Assign Homework in Blooket: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Blooket’s homework mode turns any question set into an asynchronous assignment that students complete independently on their own devices before a deadline you set. No live session is required; students access it via a link, play a solo game of their choice, and Blooket records their results automatically. Let’s learn more about how to assign blooket homework.

How to Assign Blooket Homework?

Homework Mode vs. Live Hosting: Key Differences

Before You Begin

You need:

• A Blooket teacher account
• A question set (from My Sets, Discover, or Curriculum)
• The assignment title, due date, and the Correct Goal you want to set

Students do not need Blooket accounts to complete homework. They access it via your link or QR code and play as guests. Their results are automatically tracked to your assignment.

Step 1: Find Your Question Set

Navigate to the set you want to assign:

• My Sets — For sets you’ve created or saved
• Discover — For public sets from the library
• Curriculum — For Blooket-verified grade/subject sets

Click the set to open its preview page, or locate it in My Sets.

Step 2: Click Assign HW

On the set’s preview page, click Assign HW (the 3rd button alongside Host and Solo).

If you’re browsing My Sets, hover over the set card and look for the Assign HW option from the card’s action menu.

Step 3: Fill in Assignment Settings

Title (Required)

Give the assignment a name that students will see when they open it. Clear, descriptive titles prevent confusion:

• ✓ “Unit 3 Vocabulary Review — Due Friday.”
• ✓ “Chapter 7 Science Homework — Cells.”
• ✗ “HW” (too vague, especially if you run multiple concurrent assignments)

Due Date (Required)

Set the deadline — the date and time after which students can no longer access or submit the assignment.

Account limit — this is the most important free vs. Plus difference in homework:

This 14-day limit on free Blooket accounts is a difficult limitation. If you want to assign homework for a unit test happening in three weeks, you need Blooket Plus. If your test is within two weeks, the free limit covers you.

Practical impact: Most day-to-day homework assignments are due within 14 days, so free accounts handle the majority of classroom homework scenarios. The Plus 365-day limit primarily benefits teachers who want to set up recurring or long-term review assignments, or end-of-year exam prep sets months in advance.

Correct Goal (Required)

The Correct Goal is the number of correct answers a student must achieve before their assignment is marked complete. During play, students see a progress indicator that shows how many more correct answers they need.

Guidance by session intensity:

Why Correct Goal is better than a time limit: A time-based requirement (play for 20 minutes) doesn’t measure learning. A Correct Goal measures actual correct responses. Students who answer carefully and accurately reach the goal faster. Students who rush and get many questions wrong need to answer more questions to hit the same target, which is precisely the right result.

Available Game Modes

This setting determines which solo game modes students can choose for the assignment. By default, multiple modes are available. Restricting to one mode creates a standardized experience. Offering multiple game modes can give students freedom and increase motivation.

Recommended approach: Leave all available modes open unless you have a specific reason to restrict (for example, you want all students in Study Mode for a focused, distraction-free practice session).

Student Accounts

Controls whether the student account login/signup prompt appears when students access the homework link.

• Enabled (default): Students with accounts can log in to earn tokens and XP. Students without accounts can still complete the assignment as guests.
• Disabled: The account prompt is hidden. All students proceed as guests.

Step 4: Click Assign Now

Review your settings and click Assign Now. Blooket creates the assignment and generates:

• A unique Homework Link (a persistent URL active until the due date)
• A QR Code for the assignment

Step 5: Share the Homework Link

Copy the Homework Link and share it through your preferred channel:

Critical: The Homework Link is different from a Game ID. Game IDs are for live sessions only and expire when the session ends. The Homework Link remains available until the due date and can be accessed at any time students want to work on the assignment.

Step 6: Monitor Progress from the Homework Tab

Once the assignment is live, go to Homework in your dashboard sidebar. You’ll see:

• All active assignments are listed by title and due date.
• Number of students who have started vs. completed each assignment
• Real-time progress for ongoing submissions

Click any active assignment to see the full results view: each student’s name, accuracy, Correct Goal progress, and time played.

Management options from the Homework tab:

• Extend the due date — Add more time for students who need it
• Reopen a closed assignment — Let a student who missed the deadline submit late
• End the assignment early — Close before the due date if all students have completed
• Delete the assignment — Remove it entirely

After the Deadline: Accessing the Full Report

After a homework assignment closes (deadline passes or you end it manually), the full report moves to your History tab. Access the same detailed report data as a live game: leaderboard, question accuracy, and (for Plus users) downloadable spreadsheet.
