It's not immediately clear to me whether "it's a game" or "it's a test of reading ability" makes it sound more competitive. "I want to win at the game" vs "tests = boring" / "I'd better do well on the test as it sounds important and people might think I'm stupid" vs "it's only a silly game" Perhaps one leans towards being competitive about what your peers think of you, and one towards being competitive about what teachers/adults think? Not sure.
