Work with ImageNet
To have a choice of open-source images from domain libraries appear according to which words we have in the questions. Be the first to jump on the bandwagon for this, as it is the future....

Grouping system with different answers, no more 1 pupil yelling 'A!' and the rest also voting A.
Create a few groups, for example the bunnies, the reindeers, the chickens etc. linked to a set of Plicker cards. The replies for the different groups would be ranked differently so that, for example, the correct reply for the chickens is A, whereas for the bunnies it is C.
The reason? Simple, sometimes pupils still mumble/yell A or B, the rest follows suit. This would make it a tad harder.

Smaller amount of cards....Only need about 25
I really only need about 25 cards....40 will be way too many to print on the slow school printer.

I would love a card that just has yes/no - only 2 options for younger students.

make smaller card sets for special needs classes
some classes are smaller than 30 or so children and consist of only 5 to 10 kids. smaller sets of cards should be made for these classes.

Being able to change the answer choices from letters to colors or shapes for the little guys!
Instead of just having A, B, C, D - allow the answers to be colors or shapes. I teach Pre-K and all my little friends don't know their letters, but they do know their colors. They often get the answers wrong because the letters confuse them. This also would make it easier so if I am asking them to identify a letter (such as a, b, c, and d) they don't get confused with the multiple choice. :)

cards
I have only used my cards a couple of days and they are laminated & they still look rough. I need to know what is everyone doing to help maintain their cards. Also How is everyone scanning their cards so fast? I asked 10 questions and I have 25-28 kids/class and it takes me nearly the whole time - what am I doing wrong?

Have a set of 20 cards or smaller
Make a smaller set, so classes with 0-20 would not have to make a double set and waste material.

Please can we have a number printed on the back of the cards.
I can see there being a problem distributing the cards to the correct individual at the start of a lesson, it would help greatly if the cars had large numbers on the back.

Some people want them for clubs.
So I think they should have umm like just something else. Smaller? For example why can't we just have them say how many A's and B's and C's and D's

4 per sheet
Can you print to the size of a 1/4 sheet (4 per sheet)? A teacher in our workshop this morning suggested that we tape Plicker shapes onto the back of students' graphing calculators. Right now the ones that are 2 per card are a little too large. What an awesome idea! Thanks!

Hi friends,
Thanks for writing in about this idea. Many teachers already do this by changing their printer settings to print 2 pages per sheet. This will automatically layout the cards so that there are 4 per sheet (if you’re using the standard set).
Best,

Make it possible to add choices to the multiple choice list.
Currently 4 choices make it possible to add a few extra if needed. As a math teacher I like to have five options usually adding the option for all of the above or none of the above.

Hi there,
We’d love to know more about this “one card” idea. Would you mind sharing what you had in mind for this by adding some detail to this post (so other teachers can also add their comments and votes)!
Thanks,
Team Plickers

Improved answer cards
How about making the cards double sided (print one card per page and orient it so that when you fold it in the middle it's double sided). On the back have the A,B,C,D labelled so the child can see what letter they are responding with when they hold it up. Also put 'true' & 'yes' under A and 'false' & 'no' under B.

Use the square corners or a octogon for eight answers (or hexagon for 6 at least)
Picking up the corners (diagonals) to get 4 more answers (ABCDEFGH) or using an octogon.
(or at least a hexagon for 6 possibillities).
Meanwhile, Thank you so much to everyone of that brillant team !!!44 votes -
Special Needs
It would be awesome to have the letters color coded or use picture symbols instead of letters. This way students who don't read could match colors or pictures instead.

Plickers card design editor
How about some sort of online editor that allows us to choose a picture to go with each orientation of the QR code, I could use it with the younger pupils as an assessment tool if I could attach smiley faces to each side, for example A=FULL SMILE, B=STRAIGHT FACE C=PUZZLED FACE D=SAD FACE, that way I could see at a glance how my pupils have felt the lesson has gone for them.

Shapes for the little ones!
I would love it if Kindergarten teachers had an option of using shapes instead of letters on the cards and questions. For example, a circle instead of A so it would be easier for kindergarteners to identify their correct answer.

Adjust margins for fewer cuts.
Rather than centering the images on the cards, move the images so that three of the four margins are the same.
For example, on the standard cards where the top margin looks about 1 inch, make the left margin the same 1 inch. Then you only have to cut the right margin, not both left and right to make the cards square. On the Large Cards, move the images up an inch or two so that only the bottom needs to be cut. (And maybe faint guide lines to know where to cut.)
This would make the cards neater and…

We would like to generate large numbers of cards with a name on it for our faculty attending PD sessions in large auditoriums.
Easy way to take attendance? We could avoid long lines signing in and prevent signing in friends who aren't there. We have a badge scanning system, but there could still be lines waiting to scan. And we have multiple sessions and classes. I'm not sure we have that many mobile scanners.
