Curriculum Components:

K-2 Manual: SPARK has created a three-ring binder with over 400 pages and 16 chapters of engaging, age-appropriate activities, instructional materials, and resources. The SPARK K-2 manual includes 10 dynamic instructional units: Building a Foundation, Parachute, Manipulatives, Stunts and Tumbling, Throwing and Catching, Jumping, Dribbling and Trapping, Dance, Volleying and Striking, and Games. Each curricular component is presented in scope and sequence via daily lesson plans that are aligned to NASPE National Standards, which are clearly visable on each page. ASAP's (Active Soon As Possible), provide an enjoyable, active warm-up before the main lesson.

The SPARK K-2 curriculum also contains academic integration tips (with a special emphasis on literacy), social skills themes by grade level, and challenging extensions for each activity. Every movement lesson shows the Standard(s) addressed and provides useful tips from teachers who have instructed it before. The Limited Space chapter contains activities teachers can do in their classrooms, and the Recess Activities section helps promote movement throughout the school day.

K-2 PE SPARKFolio: This easy-access box contains and organizes the contents of the SPARK K-2 Instructional Media Disc and provides hundreds of color-coded, laminated activity cards. You save valuable time and money because SPARK has done all the work for you!

SPARK K-2 PE Music CD: All the music you need to teach SPARK PE Grades K-2 on two CD's! SPARK staff teamed with Christy Lane to bring you 30 songs and more than 100 minutes of music - perfectly matched to SPARK activities. The CD's include warm-up music, long and short music intervals for skill/fitness circuits, and songs (cultural, current, country, and more!) to instruct SPARK Dances.
