Get better results with Magic Activities

The quality of your prompt directly affects how accurate and engaging the generated activity is. To get the most out of Magic Activities, you should learn how to craft effective prompts and recognise its limitations.

1. Enter your prompt following this format: Students will be able to [action verb] about [specific topic]. This helps the AI understand the desired learning outcome and generate an aligned activity. Examples:
   • Students will be able to explore the life cycle of a frog.
   • Students will be able to analyze the causes of World War I.
   • Students will be able to compare plant and animal cells.
2. Choose strong learning verbs. Use action verbs that encourage deeper thinking, especially from Bloom’s Taxonomy: analyze, compare, evaluate, investigate, design, create, and synthesize.
3. Keep prompts specific and focused on one learning goal. The more specific your topic, the more tailored the activity will be.
   • Good: Students will be able to evaluate the impact of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.
   • Too Broad: Students will be able to learn about the environment.
4. Submit the prompt to generate your activity.

• Multistep or overly complex prompts may lead to confusion: Try breaking them down into separate prompts for better results.
• Subject suitability: Magic Activities is most effective for conceptual subjects (e.g., humanities, sciences). Practical or performance-based subjects may require different approaches.
• Review AI-generated activities before classroom use: While the outputs are tailored, always check for age-appropriateness, accuracy, and cultural sensitivity.
• Teacher input is crucial: The quality of the generated activities depends on how well prompts are crafted. Thoughtful prompt creation improves results significantly.
