Top 12 free quiz makers for teachers that print or play live (2026)

• Best for one quiz that prints with a key and plays live
• Free plan, paid upgrades

One quiz does both jobs. The plans page says the Basic plan is free for every teacher, forever, with live and student-paced delivery and AI to generate, import, adapt and explain questions. Wayground's help center says any quiz opens as a worksheet with a Worksheet button, where an Answer keys toggle puts the key on the last page and you can shuffle questions and answers before you print.

The free part: Basic: live and student-paced quizzes, AI tools, up to 20 stored activities, 100 students and limited question types.

Basic is free; School and District plans are by quote, and no individual paid price is shown on the plans page.

Watch for Basic caps you at 20 stored activities and 100 students with limited question types, and it needs a teacher account. The worksheet printing is described in the help center, not on the plans page.

• Ours
• Best for a printed quiz with a key in a minute, no account
• Free

Pick a grade and print a quiz with its answer key on its own page, plus an optional bubble sheet and versions A and B in a different order. Layouts are three boxes, fill the blank, short answer or exit tickets four to a page. Questions come from a bank of math facts, sight words (read aloud by the teacher), word meanings and 53 reading passages, or from a list you paste. Play it live sends the same questions to Peabody's live game, where students join with a code and no account.

Free, no sign-up, no ads and no student accounts; nothing typed leaves the browser and no AI runs when you print.

Watch for The bank has no science or social studies questions (paste your own for those), and there is no grading, gradebook or report: it prints and plays, it does not mark.

• Best for a self-grading quiz in a Google school
• Price varies

Turn on Make this a quiz in a form's settings, then set an answer key and point values on each question. Google's help page says responses are scored against the key, the Responses tab shows frequently missed questions, and you choose whether grades are released right away or after you review them. Students answer on their own devices at their own pace.

Not stated on the Forms product page we read, which offers personal sign-in and Workspace plans for work.

Watch for It is not a live game and the help page does not mention printing. Forms made with a school account are limited to people in that organization unless you change the setting, so collecting names usually means student sign-in.
