    Activity Suggestions for your School Great Ideas for your Pause to Play team to try! Organize activities in your school: Host a Games Night at the school for students and families. Local businesses that sell board games might be able to assist you. Set up games in the gym that large groups can play all together such as dodge ball. Host an assembly and invite a community guest to your school o Local athlete, or players from local sports teams i.e. London Knights, London Majors Baseball, UWO Western Mustangs, London Lightning Basketball o School Superintendent or Trustee Ask students to organize and run a school-wide activity incorporating DPA, or plan ‘teachers vs. students’ competitions such as a fitness challenge. Invite a local community agency or business to share their expertise. Run an event or class at your school in the evening (yoga, karate, dance, etc.) Challenge classes or divisions to participate and publish the class that ‘Paused to Play’ the most in the principal’s newsletter. Collect data from class log sheets and compare results. See “Pause to Play…for Math!” for more ideas. Encourage students to use the time before and after school to be active by walking, cycling or using other forms of active travel to get to and from school. Walk with buddies for added safety and fun. Use mural paper to create a graffiti wall where students can write or draw activities they chose to do instead of viewing screens.
