Teacher Tools & Games: Sparks
What Tools & Games does
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.
Everything is designed to be seen from the back of the room: big, bright visuals, clear text and friendly characters that children recognise from lesson to lesson. Open it, pick a tool, and teach.
A look inside
Features
Classroom games children love
Scoreboard, Bingo, Dice Roller, Spinner, Coin Toss, Snakes & Ladders, Memory Match, Plinko, Jeopardy-style quizzes and more. Use them for warm-ups, end-of-unit review or a reward at the end of a good week.
Teaching tools that save time
Random Name Picker, Classroom Timer, Noise Meter, Whiteboard, Date & Weather and a Sound Board: the tools a teacher reaches for every day, gathered in one place instead of scattered across websites and tabs.
Word Box: vocabulary and phonics
Picture flashcards across dozens of everyday categories, such as feelings, family, food, animals, weather, school life and Japanese events, plus phonics practice and games that recycle the same words so they stick.
Beat Chant
A rhythm game where students chant words in time with the beat as it speeds up. It is a high-energy way to drill pronunciation, and you can build your own word sets for the unit you are teaching.
How it works
- Open the app on the screen your class can see: projector, TV or tablet.
- Choose a tool or game from the hub. Most start instantly with sensible defaults.
- Adjust names, teams, word lists or time limits if you want to, then play.
Who it’s for
Elementary and junior-high teachers, English (ESL/EFL) teachers and ALTs, tutors, and parents who want to make practice at home feel like a game.

Is it free?
