Choose how you want to take part
If the child wants to propose a word and have Alicia continue, look at Rally with Alicia. If you want to choose cards and build a chain between Child and Adult, the documented format is family mode. The syllable rule remains; participation changes.
The official facts describe Alicia as a local Spanish game for children aged 4–7 and their families. It is in development for Android, with no public download yet. This guide explains the announced design; it does not claim hands-on access to a downloadable release.
Thinking of a word is not the same as holding its card
Consider this invented situation: the chain ends in «casa» and the child thinks of «sapo». ca-sa → sa-po illustrates the Spanish syllable link. Proposing words belongs to the documented Rally format, and Alicia continues without resetting the chain midway.
In family mode, the child chooses among three cards with pictures and syllables. A valid continuation in our example does not establish that its card will appear in any particular hand. The turn instead asks which available card fits. We promise neither a fixed deal nor a way to enter any word in that mode.
Share the participation each format offers
In family mode, Adult chooses among six text cards, and Child checks the link after each correct adult answer. The cooperative chain has ten links. Choosing and checking are different tasks: one participant finds a connection; the other explains the syllables that make it work. No individual winner or race is needed to explain those roles.
Before choosing, discuss what you would enjoy:
- Would the child rather propose their own words or choose visible options?
- Would the adult like to play a card too and have Child check its link?
- Do you prefer an exchange with Alicia or a chain shared between family participants?
These are preference questions, not an ability assessment. Words always remain visible and audio is optional. The facts announce no accounts, adverts, lives, scores or timers, and promise no educational outcome.
Keep the examples in Spanish
We can explain the game in English, but replacing «casa» with «house» does not preserve its link to «sapo». The chain depends on the actual Spanish syllables. Follow the syllables shown in the documented game rather than switching to final letters or related meanings.
Visit Alicia’s presentation for its status. Your choice can be specific: “we want to choose cards together” or “we want to propose words to the character.” Both involve syllable play, but they ask for different actions.
