HINTON PSYear 6 2014

• GAMES IN THE PLAYGROUND WERE

CAUSING ARGUMENTS

• PEOPLE DIDN’T ACCEPT THAT THEY

WERE OUT

• THEY ARGUED WITH EACH OTHER

• THEY BROKE THE RULES OF THE GAMES

• PEOPLE WANTED TO WIN AND BE ON

THE BEST TEAM.

WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?

• encourage people to play fairly

• put up fair play posters

• make one referee from each team

to make fair decisions

• Choose a fair player of the week

THE PLAN

• As a year group we agreed on 3 or 4

simple rules for each sport.

• We made posters of the rules.

• We discussed the rules and the

posters at school assembly.

• We displayed the posters around the

school.

• We told the teams they must always

have a referee for each team who

must wear a red vest.

ACT: What did we do?

• At the end of lunch and recess every

day we ask the students to think about

who has been playing fairly in their

game and nominate them to be a fair

player. They have to be able to explain

why they have nominated that person.

• We write the names on a chalkboard

under the COLA.

• At the end of the week we put all the

names in a cup and draw the lucky

winner’s name out at assembly.

NOMINATIONS

• The winner gets to keep the Fair Play

trophy in their class for the next week.

• At the end of the term the fair players

for that term play a special game in

extra play time and a treat.

• The winners’ names are displayed on

a board under the COLA.

REWARDS

We thought about how it was going and we

made some changes.

• We introduced mini fair play trophies so

winners had something they could keep and

take home.

• We limited the nominations to one from

each class as there were too many

nominations and it was taking a long time.

• We decided to add rules for handball.

• We decided Kinder students did not have to

have a reason for their nomination if they

could not explain properly.

• Teachers and students have noticed

that there is less conflict in the

playground.

• Students are using fair play language

all the time.

• From time to time we ask students

how it’s going and get their feedback.

It has been very positive.

IS IT WORKING?

• We have noticed one problem is that

most students always pick their

friends for their teams and others

complain the teams are not fair. We

need to find a way to solve this.

• Sometimes people just nominate their

friends for fair play awards so maybe

we need to make sure the

nominations are agreed by other

players in the game.
