Students love competitive gaming with tools like Kahoot, Gimkit, and Quizziz. There is a tool geared for 3rd grade and up for writing that is similar to these game-based tools. Groovelit is a fun way to practice writing. Students are given a visual and text prompt and create a writing sample (they can also use speech to text for this), and the Goovelit AI tool scores this. There are points earned, rankings displayed, and it is competitive like Kahoot and Gimkit. If you are looking for a way to up your writing practice, give Groovelit a try!

You can get inspiration by searching by grade and content or checking out other pre-made activities in the Game Library.
You can also create your own game by clicking the “Create” icon.
Once you have chosen or created your activity, you will set the options you want (just follow the steps to set up the game). Then launch it to your students. They will get a link and code to enter. They will then enter their name (just like other game-based activities).
You can see each student’s work as they write in your dashboard. After the game is over, you will also see their writing and how the writing was scored! The best part, the student will also be able to see their work and how to improve their writing. They can even save this writing to work on it later!
