Kahoot and Pixton

KAHOOT

"Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform that makes it easy to create, share and play learning games or trivia quizzes in minutes." (https://kahoot.com/)

Personally, as a teacher candidate and an active student, I really love Kahoot. Both in high school and university I had chances to play Kahoot in my lessons and it facilitates a lot both learning and having fun.
