Playground Activity Leaders in Schools (PALS)

WHY EDUCATORS LIKE PALS
  • Handbook, trained student volunteers and staff champions, parent permission forms.
  • Peer-to-peer: Grade 6-8 students are trained to facilitate activities at recess for younger students.
  • Using a handbook to guide activities for the playground, trained student volunteers offer guided activities to younger students during recess breaks.
