How to Use the New Magimot Game with Your Child

Articles

Learning how to spell vocabulary words is essential to academic success and the development of good communication skills that kids will use in everyday life. This is why elementary school students are expected to learn spelling words and review them at home and at school. To add a touch of magic to spelling practise, check out the new Magimot game with your child.

The Benefits of Using Magimot

Try it once and you’re sure to be hooked! Play has proven benefits to learning. Here just a few of the advantages of using Magimot as an educational game:

  • Your child can personalize spelling lists by choosing from a bank of over 10,000 words so your child can practise the ones they have the most trouble with.
  • Your child can access Alloprof’s codes for preset spelling lists, organized by theme and grade level.
  • The game features a text-to-speech function that reads each word aloud, so you don’t have to.
  • The game keeps players motivated and engaged thanks to magic powers that they can collect as they spell words correctly. 
  • Magimot even adapts to special occasions, with new festive worlds to discover at certain times of the year, inspired by the tunnels in the game Potager en péril (Available in French only).
  • The game can be played on several platforms: On a computer via the Alloprof website, or on tablets and cellphones via the Magimot application.
  • And so much more!

Features and Gameplay

After selecting their word list, your child is ready to start the game.

As soon as the game starts, they need to pay attention to the word being pronounced, so they can spell it correctly. The bad guys keep attacking while your child thinks and move faster or slower depending on the chosen difficulty level. For example, if your child’s typing skills are less developed, they can select the easy level. That way the enemies will advance more slowly, which gives your child more time to finish typing the word and prevents frustration.

Whether or not the word has been spelled correctly, the game pauses and gives feedback to your child. If they make a mistake, the game will show the correct spelling of the word, so that they can take the time they need to read the correct answer and learn.


Magimot is also designed so that words that your child misses are repeated more often, giving them a chance to work through their challenges until they succeed.
