Quizzes and Surveys
There are plenty of quiz applications you can try. Many of you are already familiar with Kahoot, but there are others like Quizziz or even Socrative which can be paced differently. Did you know you can even create a quiz in Microsoft Forms and Google Forms?
You may wish to even try something like Menti or AnswerGarden.

Kahoot
Use Kahoot wisely. It is easy to overuse and can be too competitive for many students - however it is very motivating for students.
