✦ SQUAD LEGENDS · FREE TO START

Classroom team points, counted for you

Split the class into squads, and every point a student earns lifts their squad's flag on the class screen. When the time is up, the highest flag wins and everyone in that squad gets the prize. There is no tally to keep on the whiteboard.

Squad Legends is part of Learnify, a classroom management app for ages 5 to 18. It works on the free plan for one class of up to 30 students, and students need no devices or accounts.

By Rey, a teacher who makes Learnify.

Every squad's flag, on the class screen

Three squads on the class screen: Red Lions on 38 points, Blue Eagles on 33 and Green Wolves on 29
The leading squad's pole wears the crown, and each squad's top scorer wears a small one.

How it works

  1. Make the squads

    In your class, open Activities and pick Squad Legends. Choose two to six squads, and Learnify deals the students out by level and rank so nobody starts behind.

  2. Give them a flag

    Name each squad and pick its colour and badge. Drag students between squads, or onto the bench to sit this game out. Shuffle deals them out again, still balanced.

  3. Pick the length and the prize

    From a one-day Match to a two-month Championship. The longer it runs, the bigger the prize you can pick for the winning squad.

  4. Teach as usual

    Every point a student earns lifts their squad's flag, and a minus point lowers it. When the time is up, press Finish & give rewards.

What the winners get

Team points for a single lesson

Squad Legends runs for a day or longer. For a team round inside one lesson, the review games split the students marked present into 2 to 8 teams and give the winners points. To split a list into groups with no account at all, use the free random group maker.
