Help Sparky the Fire Dog® practice his home fire escape plan before going to the carnival! When you hear the Beep, Beep, Beep of a smoke alarm, help him find a safe way to his outside meeting place. Once you help Sparky get outside safely, you'll unlock three fun mini-games. Toss balloons to dunk Sparky in the dunk tank, solve addition facts to squirt robots with water and send Sparky on a roller coaster ride by spelling words correctly! Standards-aligned math problems included in the Bot Blaster mini-game get more challenging as children progress through the levels, giving kids useful practice with addition facts ideal for students in grades 1-2. On the Word Coaster mini-game, students will show off their spelling talents with words typically used in first and second grade classrooms. As the game progresses, the challenge level increases giving students a chance to build spelling confidence. At SparkySchoolhouse.org, find ideas for educators about how to incorporate the app into group lessons and activities to help kids learn essential fire-safety skills. You will also find fire-safety activities aligned with math, literature, science, social studies and other core content. Sparky’s Fun House was produced by the National Fire Protection Association.
