Spelling games benefit from sound because hearing a word and seeing its letters connects two forms of information instead of asking memory to work alone. Friendly characters can act as memory cues; children may remember the rule because they remember who explained it and what happened immediately afterward. A friendly mascot can persuade a player to repeat an exercise that a worksheet could never negotiate.

Educational games work best when the skill being practiced is part of the play itself. If the learning task and the game task are completely separate, children notice the disguise very quickly.

Snapping commands together removes punctuation headaches while keeping the important ideas of sequence, loops and events.
