Description

Sparky the Fire Dog® challenges you to a game of wits! Do you have the brain-power to stump Sparky (as well as your friends) on these tough brain-buster questions? Spin the wheel to answer trivia questions in five categories: Science, Math, Social Studies, Fire Safety and Sparky's Choice. From there, you can race the clock (or each other) to see who can get the most questions right before the time runs out. Earn character badges for brain-busting prowess. Test your trivia knowledge and fire safety expertise as you play. Multi-player mode allows groups to play against each other to see who can answer the most questions correctly in the allotted time period or in turn-based competition. Classroom mode allows teachers to utilize the app in the classroom to review essential Common Core topics and pique students’ curiosity with content-rich fun facts. Includes ideas for educators about how to incorporate the app into group lessons and activities to help kids learn essential fire-safety skills as well as math, literature, science, social studies and other core content.     Sparky's Brain Busters was produced by the National Fire Protection Association.

    My daughters loved this app. They love trivia in general, so this app is great for them. I’ve had fun with the questions myself and watching them learn as they have fun. I recommend this app for families who want to teach their child fire safety without your child being bored! Get it today!

    Sparky is a great way to help kids learn while also making learning about a potentially scary subject fun . Kids can play solo or in multi-player mode, and there’s even a Classroom mode that lets teachers use the game to explore Common Core topics. Kudos to the NFPA for making a fun, engaging tool to help kids learn about a serious subject!

    My family loves trivia and this app is a perfect fit. This game is a great way to learn about fire safety and so much more. The challenge aspect to earn badges keeps my son engaged. There is also an interactive portion where kids play with friendly competition. My 5th grade son says this app would be great for his classroom.

    My 4th grader and 6th grader have had a blast with this app—they’ve learned more about fire safety and the history of fire safety than I ever would have imagined! They played solo for a bit, but then we realized that they could compete under the same wifi. Then my 3rd grader got in on the fun, too! Excellent resource and because it is aligned to the CCSS, it’s a perfect addition to any classroom. BRAVO!

    This is a fantastic game with just enough information about fire safety to reinforce that knowledge but keep it fun. My kids LOVE playing and I loved that it covered so many topics. If it had just been about fire safety they probably would have played for 5 minutes, but because it was about so much they played much longer and ended up learning so much more about how to be safe.

    My 6th and 4th graders are loving this trivia app that incorporates fire safety learning. I like how it can be used by multiple users on the same WiFi network to have a competitive game. This is great for the classroom!
