Please note that a user account is required to play this game, for more information please visit: https://www.emile-education.com The Emile range of resources has been developed by a group of teachers, academics and game developers. Together we have developed and supplied games-based learning resources to over 15% of the primary schools in the UK & Ireland. Our range of resources are all underpinned by robust pedagogical research and are tested rigorously by teachers in classrooms. Initiated by a Knowledge Transfer Partnership and part funded by Innovate UK, Emile was developed in conjunction with the Faculty of Education of Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK based on robust pedagogy.  The multi-award-winning resource delivers a real impact on the learning outcomes of students throughout key stages 1 and 2, while reducing teacher workload significantly, especially when combined with Emile's own schemes of work. UK teachers' feedback has been integral to the development of Emile. As a direct result, Emile now features: - a Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) Emulator with additional controls to control the time limits, the questions asked and slow students down; - a full and comprehensive spelling scheme targeted directly at the statutory spelling words; - end of unit and end of block assessments that dovetail with the White Rose scheme of work; and - tools to help students in intervention groups including auto generated knowledge gap analyses. Used in thousands of schools and multi-academy trusts across the country, Emile is perfect for homework, classroom work, assessments (both formative and summative) and intervention groups.

Morphs is an adventure spelling game set after Professor Grubwell's Shrink-o-Tron accidentally shrinks humanity to microscopic size. People now live underground, among roots, rust, and towering insects, in a new home called the Colony. Children play as Morphs—young explorers and builders who gather resources, explore their surroundings, and help the Colony grow stronger. Progress is powered by spelling. Each level teaches a specific morpheme (for example, “ment”) through a short tutorial video, before children apply their knowledge in gameplay to earn resources, customise their character, build their base, and defend against giant bugs. A Grammarsaurus subscription is required to play the game. Login details are typically provided by your school or teacher, but a subscription can also be purchased directly by a parent or other adult.
