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.

Fun way to learn fire safety
My 6-year-old really enjoyed learning the facts about fire safety in addition to testing her knowledge out on the other subjects. It's super helpful if your child can read. The graphics are fun, and some of them made her laugh out loud because they were silly!

United Statestakes fire safety to a whole new level
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!
