Magic Exercise Book review
A free add-on for appending teacher materials to existing Classroom assignment files.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Magic Exercise Book is a Google Workspace add-on for teachers who assign work through Google Classroom using Google Docs or Google Slides. It copies the document or presentation open in Docs or Slides to the end of each student's corresponding assignment file. The focus is on extending classwork teachers have already assigned, rather than finding ready-made teaching materials. It suits teachers who need to distribute an additional worksheet, document page, or set of slides across student work.
Its main strength is a specific after-assignment workflow. Teachers can append content after creating the assignment, without manually opening each student's file. The add-on supports both Docs and Slides, and its listed ecosystem is Google Classroom, Google Docs, and Google Slides. That narrow integration is useful when assignments already live in those apps, but it does not serve as a resource library or a general-purpose assignment platform. Teachers looking to browse premade materials or work outside this Google app workflow should look elsewhere.
According to the vendor's published pricing information, Magic Exercise Book has one Free plan and is free of charge. There are no paid tiers described, so the decision is less about comparing plan features and more about whether this append workflow fits a teacher's routine. It is web-based, and documentation is the listed support channel. Choose it if you regularly need to add your own Docs or Slides content to student assignment files after distribution. It is a poor fit if you need a broader teaching-resource catalog, other assignment formats, or support beyond documentation.
