Build Better Lessons in Less Time
The Master Teacher Toolkit gives busy teachers two simple tools for planning engaging classroom activities and complete lessons—without starting from a blank page.
Use the Activity Launcher when you need a quick classroom activity.
Use the Lesson Maker when you need a complete 45-, 60-, or 90-minute lesson.
Bell Ringers • Exit Tickets • Brain Breaks • Class Activities • Complete Lessons
One Subscription. Two Powerful Teaching Tools.
Activity Launcher
Need something your students can do right now?
Activity Launcher helps you quickly find classroom activities for different moments in your lesson.
Choose from:
Bell Ringers
Exit Tickets
Brain Breaks
Class Activities (10 minutes or longer)
Select what you need, filter the options, and launch an activity that fits your classroom.
Best for: lesson hooks, prior knowledge activation, transitions, attention resets, review, retrieval practice, discussion, collaboration, reflection, and formative assessment.
Lesson Maker
Need more than one activity?
Lesson Maker combines activities into complete lesson sequences for:
45-minute lessons
60-minute lessons
90-minute lessons
Choose the length and purpose of your lesson, and Lesson Maker helps you create a structured sequence from beginning to end.
You can also save favorite activities and use them to build your own customized lessons.
From “What Am I Doing Today?” to Ready to Teach
The Master Teacher Toolkit helps you:
Save Planning Time
Search more than 100 classroom activities and build complete lesson sequences without digging through websites, folders, books, and old documents.
Keep Students Engaged
Break up long stretches of teacher talk with purposeful activities, movement, discussion, retrieval, and application.
Find the Right Activity Faster
Choose the lesson moment, available time, and instructional purpose instead of scrolling through a giant list of disconnected ideas.
Build More Active Lessons
Create lessons in which students do more than sit, listen, and complete another worksheet.
Powered by 100+ Ready-to-Use Activities
The Master Teacher Toolkit is powered by the classroom activity collection from Spark. Wire. Fire.: 100 Ready-to-Use Classroom Activities That Inspire Curiosity, Strengthen Memory, and Apply Learning.
The app makes those strategies easier to search, filter, save, and combine into complete lessons—so you can quickly find the right activity for the right moment.
Any Activity. Any Subject.
The Master Teacher Toolkit provides flexible activity structures that you can adapt to the content you are already teaching and includes subject specific examples to give you ideas.
Made for Real Classrooms
The Master Teacher Toolkit is for teachers who:
Need a strong bell ringer to start class
Want better exit tickets than “What did you learn?”
Need an activity that engages students in thinking and application of content
Look for innovative ways to introduce new content
Need a purposeful brain break
Want students to do more during class
Are planning at the last minute
Need a fresh approach to familiar content
Want to turn several activities into a complete lesson
Are tired of rebuilding every lesson from scratch
Whether you need five minutes or an entire class period, the toolkit helps you find a practical place to begin.
