Description

The present invention relates to a magnetic game for children, in particular toddlers, comprising a game board with a top playing surface, at least one magnetic game figure movable on the playing surface, a viewing disc arranged above the playing surface and the magnetic game figure, and a magnetic pen which can be guided manually by a user over the viewing disc in order to move the magnetic game figure magnetically over the playing surface. One such magnetic game is, among other things, from the DE 20 2025 104 631 U1 known. The present invention is based on the objective of making the magnetic game even more attractive and further increasing the playing experience for children/toddlers. To solve this problem, the invention discloses the magnetic game according to claim 1. A magnetic game for children, especially toddlers, is disclosed, comprising a game board with a top playing surface, at least one magnetic game figure movable on the playing surface, a viewing window arranged above the playing surface and the magnetic game figure, and a magnetic pen which can be guided manually by a user over the viewing window to move the magnetic game figure magnetically over the playing surface, wherein the magnetic game has an acoustic module with at least one sensor assigned to the playing surface, wherein the acoustic module generates an acoustic signal when the sensor detects the magnetic game figure in its detection range. Sound games fascinate children because they playfully promote cognitive skills and motor skills. Acoustic signals such as sounds, music, and noises awaken natural curiosity, support concentration, help understand emotions, and foster creativity. Furthermore, sound games offer diverse and relaxing opportunities for learning and interaction. Acoustic signals like music or noises stimulate brain regions, promoting neural connections, supporting intelligence, and potentially aiding language processing. Listening trains concentration, attention, and the auditory discrimination of sounds, thereby improving perception. Through sounds, music, and noises, children can learn to assess or recognize situations or moods based on acoustic signals, which promotes the development of emotional intelligence. In the magnetic game according to the invention, the acoustic signal serves as a kind of "reward" when the magnetic game piece is moved into the sensor's detection range and the child achieves a certain success. The child is encouraged to repeatedly bring the magnetic game piece into the sensor's detection range to trigger the acoustic signal. This can enhance the play experience for children/toddlers. It can be advantageous if the acoustic module has multiple sensors assigned to the playing surface, wherein the acoustic module generates an acoustic signal when at least one of the sensors detects the magnetic game piece within its detection range. The acoustic signal generated by the acoustic module is preferably individual for each sensor and particularly preferably tailored to a marker/image assigned to that sensor. For example, in a magnetic game with a "farm" theme, various animal sounds can be generated as acoustic signals. If the magnetic game piece enters the detection range of a sensor marked with a corresponding animal image/motif, the acoustic module generates an animal sound corresponding to that image as an acoustic signal. Individual acoustic signals can further enhance the play experience for children/toddlers. It can prove useful if the playing surface has a guide track for the magnetic game piece with several action fields arranged along the guide track, each action field being assigned its own sensor of the acoustic module, the acoustic module generating the acoustic signal when one of the sensors detects the magnetic game piece in one of the action fields. It can be advantageous to mill the guide track into the game board. This makes manufacturing the guide track particularly easy, especially when using a milling head with a width matched to the guide track. It can prove helpful if the playing surface contains at least one action element which can be actuated with the magnetic pen, preferably by rotation or sliding, to move the magnetic game piece on the playing surface, wherein the action element is preferably a turntable with a magnetic game piece receptacle, a rotation axis and a magnetic element, wherein the turntable rotates about the rotation axis when a user moves the magnetic element circumferentially about the rotation axis with the magnetic pen, wherein the action element is preferably designed to move the magnetic game piece between two guide track sections, wherein the action element preferably moves between a position in which the The magnetic toy figure holder communicates with a first guide track section and can be reversibly transferred to a second position in which it communicates with a second guide track section. Such an action element enhances the play experience because
