FairPlayPals
How to win, lose, and wait like a good sport, for grades 1–2. Play the tricky game-night moments — a loss, a lucky roll against you, a slow player, one more game? — do the Good-Game ritual, and make your own printable Fair-Play Charter. Big buttons, read-aloud, no losing at being a good sport. On-device; nothing leaves your device.

Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, asks, and patiently scaffolds learning.

Meet the cast
FairPlayPals has a small friendly game-night crew — each one shows one good-sport move you make when you play with friends (their illustrated storybooks are on the way).
Goodwin
WIN WELL — says “good game,” never gloats, and names one thing you did well
Shrugg
LOSE WELL — shakes off a loss with a smile and asks to play again
Wenna
WAIT WELL — waits their turn calmly and cheers others while they think
Asko
INCLUDE EVERYONE — invites new friends in so no one is left out

How FairPlayPals handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
- ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
- ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages
