Perhaps you were with your friends. Perhaps you were playing a sport or a game. Include many details in your story, as many as you can remember. Where were you at the time? What were you doing? Who was with you? What were the sounds, the sights, the smells? What was the weather like? What were your feelings? What did you do? Write a sports story for a school or community newspaper. Attend an athletic event and emphasise examples of fair play by the learners in your news story. Write a specific fair play code for a sport or game that you particularly like. Interview an athlete about fair play; interview your mum or dad about their expectations for fair play. Videotape examples of fair play from the hallways, the playground, the gymnasium, your classroom. Write a poem on a fair play issue in your school or community. ART Design posters promoting fair play. Display them around the school. Design and produce your own fair play awards. Create fair play trophies. Create drawing and sculptures representing fair play themes. DRAMA Role play ethical dilemmas. Present Reader's Theatre performances of ethical dilemma which might occur when learners are participating in a variety of school-related activities.

MUSIC Compose and perform a " rap" song about fair play. Compose and perform a fair play cheer. Collect pop songs that have fair play as a theme. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Prepare dances or routines representing fair play themes. Have learners modify activities to better incorporate fair play values.
