Sparky's Fun House 1.0

Sparky the Fire Dog® invites children to hone their home fire escape plans in an engaging environment reminiscent of a carnival. The experience begins with the audible alert of a smoke alarm, prompting participants to assist Sparky in navigating to a designated outdoor meeting place safely.

Successfully guiding Sparky to safety unlocks three interactive mini-games that reinforce both fun and learning. Players can engage in a variety of activities, including:

• Tossing balloons in a dunk tank challenge.
• Solving addition problems to squirt water at robots.
• Testing spelling skills on a roller coaster ride.

The Bot Blaster mini-game features standards-aligned math challenges that progress in difficulty, effectively supporting children in grades 1-2 as they practice essential addition facts. Meanwhile, the Word Coaster mini-game provides an opportunity for students to enhance their spelling proficiency with common vocabulary suitable for first and second graders, gradually increasing the challenge to foster confidence in their abilities.

Educators seeking to integrate the app into lesson plans can explore resources at SparkySchoolhouse.org, which offers suggestions for group lessons and activities that promote essential fire-safety skills. Additionally, the site includes various fire-safety activities that align with subjects such as math, literature, science, and social studies.
