Capture the Flag on GimKit

Steal flags. Defend yours.

Capture the Flag rewards teams that answer and coordinate. Correct answers fuel flag captures. Defend your base while pushing into enemy territory.

Capture the Flag puts kids on shared teams. Quieter students still earn money because the team bank adds up. Good for mixed-ability classes where you do not want one kid running away with the scoreboard.
