See How Traffic Lights Turn Quiz Play into Progress

At the heart of Education Quizzes is our simple Traffic Lights system, designed to help children understand how well they’re learning – and to encourage steady improvement over time.

Each quiz topic has its own Traffic Light. As children replay quizzes and grow in confidence, their lights naturally change from red to amber to green. There are no confusing scores or grades – just clear, visible progress.

At the top of each quiz listing page, a simple progress scoreboard shows how many topics are secure within the current subject, as well as overall progress across all quizzes.

Traffic Lights show understanding for each topic, while the scoreboard highlights progress within a subject and across all quizzes.

How It Works, Step by Step

1 Choose a subject

Children choose a subject and topic at the right level, whether they’re following what’s being taught at school, revising, or learning about something new.

2 Play the quiz

Quizzes are short and focused, usually taking just a few minutes to complete, so learning fits easily into everyday routines.

3 Get instant feedback

After each answer, clear explanations help children understand why something is right or wrong, turning mistakes into learning moments.

Built for Confidence, Not Pressure

At Home and in the Classroom

Education Quizzes works just as well in the classroom as it does at home, supporting consistent learning across different settings.

In schools, quizzes are often used to reinforce learning and give pupils additional practice in a familiar, accessible format.

For parents, this means the learning children do at home complements what happens in the classroom, creating a consistent and supportive experience.
