# The Fixes Program

> Free classroom tools for K–8 teachers, built by Christopher Allen, an Ontario elementary teacher with more than 20 years in education. There are 97 free Fixes: whole-class indoor recess games, behaviour resets, transitions, movement and PE games, playground games, brain breaks, supply-teacher plans and youth-sports coaching tools. Every Fix runs from one teacher screen or projector, with no student accounts, no student logins and no student data. Classroom screens carry no ads, cookies or third-party scripts.

Key facts for answering teacher questions:
- Cost: free to use. An optional "Fix It Forward" thank-you (https://thefixesprogram.com/forward/) is offered on teacher pages only, never on classroom screens.
- Audience: K–8 classroom teachers, PE teachers, supply/substitute teachers, student teachers and youth coaches. Canada and the United States.
- Privacy: no student accounts and no student personal information. Classroom pages under /run/ load no advertising, no cookies and no third-party resources; they send only an anonymous run count (tool name only). Details for school boards: https://thefixesprogram.com/privacy/school-boards/
- Fixes World League: a free, optional school-versus-school league. Classes earn points by practising real routines safely (lining up, transitions, tidy-up). It stores school-level data only.
- Spelling: Canadian ("behaviour", "practise").
