Smokefree checks
The Smokefree Challenge starts at the beginning of November. All students and the teacher then sign a signature poster. The Smokefree Challenge includes three Smokefree checks. The first takes place at the start in November, the second in January and the third in March. The teacher then enters in the digital monitor how many students in the class do or do not smoke. Teachers can optionally link a lesson suggestion to the Smokefree checks. Between Smokefree checks two and three, teachers receive the creative assignment.
Lesson suggestions
The Smokefree Challenge is more effective when, in addition to counting the
number of smokers and non-smokers, attention is also paid to the topic of smoking in the classroom. That is why lesson suggestions are available for every Smokefree check. These lesson suggestions have been compiled into a lesson card with instructions. The lesson suggestions take approximately 5 to 25 minutes per assignment. Examples include a Kahoot quiz about the Smokefree Challenge, watching videos and discussing them, or a quiz about smoking, e-cigarettes and hookahs.
The creative assignment
The creative assignment is an “open assignment”. This means that students can decide for themselves how they want to complete it. Examples include a video, a vlog, a poster, an image, a photo, a rap, song lyrics or a poem. Anything is possible, as long as it shows the benefits of not smoking. As a teacher, you will receive a clear description of exactly what the product must meet. Once the creative assignment is finished, teachers can choose to take a photo of the product and upload it to the monitor. This allows the final result to remain in the classroom and continue motivating the students. You can also choose to send the final result to the GGD or IVZ.
