Less prep. More fun. Better lessons.
SPARKS is a family of three learning apps for teachers and parents: games and tools for the front of the room, a lesson planner that drafts your plan in minutes, and a worksheet maker that draws custom practice pages for any topic.

Learn more →Tools & Games
Classroom games, timers, flashcards and phonics, all in one app.
Tools & Games puts the everyday tools of a lively lesson one tap away. Pick a student at random, start a countdown, keep score between teams, run a bingo round or play Snakes & Ladders on the big screen, all from one app and with nothing to set up.
Build & Link
Plan a complete English lesson in minutes.
Build & Link turns lesson planning from an evening chore into a short task. Tell it the grade, the textbook unit and how long the lesson is, and it writes a complete plan: warm-up, presentation, practice, production and wrap-up, with timings and the vocabulary you are targeting.
Picture It
Describe the worksheet you want. Get a print-ready original in seconds.
Picture It creates original, illustrated worksheets from a short description. Choose a worksheet type, enter your topic and vocabulary, pick an art style, and Picture It designs the page, with artwork drawn for your topic rather than recycled clip art.
