The Fixes Program™ is a free library of classroom games, routines and behaviour resets built by an Ontario teacher. No student accounts, no student data.
The Fixes Program™ is a free library of 96 classroom tools for K–8 teachers: indoor recess games, transitions, behaviour resets, movement breaks and supply-teacher plans. Built by Ontario teacher Christopher Allen, every Fix runs from one teacher screen with no student accounts, no student data and no ads on classroom screens.
The Fixes Program™ is a free library of 96 classroom tools built by Christopher Allen, an Ontario elementary teacher with more than 20 years in education. Its motto is “Fix the system. Not the kids.” Instead of repeating reminders, classes practise routines like lining up and tidying up through short games run from one teacher screen. The library covers indoor recess, behaviour resets, movement and PE, playground games, supply-teacher plans and coaching. Students never sign in and no student data is collected. Fixes World League lets schools compete on how safely their classes practise routines. Everything is free.
Name: The Fixes Program™ (or “The Fixes”). Website: thefixesprogram.com. Tagline: Fix the system. Not the kids. Canadian spelling is used on the site.
What makes it different
Built by a working teacher
Every Fix starts as a real classroom moment that kept breaking down: lining up, indoor recess, a supply day, ten spare minutes.
Practice, not reminders
Students rehearse what “ready”, “safe” and “finished” look like through quick games, so routines stick without nagging.
Safe to project
No sign-ins, no student data, and no ads, cookies or outside code on classroom screens. Easy for a board to approve.
Free, with no catch
No trials, tiers or paywalls. Teachers use it first and can fix it forward afterward.
Schools compete on behaviour
Fixes World League ranks schools by how well their classes practise routines safely, not by test scores.
Made in Ontario
A Canadian, teacher-made alternative to large commercial platforms, used across Canada and the United States.
Story angles
- The teacher who gave it all away. A veteran Ontario teacher builds 96 classroom tools and makes every one free.
- Schools racing to line up. A free league where schools compete on calm transitions and tidy classrooms.
- Indoor recess, solved. Whole-class games for the rainy and frigid days every elementary school dreads.
- The supply-teacher emergency kit. A one-click day plan for the morning nobody planned for.
- Privacy by design. Classroom tech that collects nothing about kids, at a time when boards are tightening rules.
