Love My Air Wisconsin (LMA WI) partnered with Playworks Wisconsin to create a one-of-a-kind, activity resource guide associated with air quality index (AQI) guidelines. The AQI Activity Guide (based off AQI) provides health related recommendations based on outdoor air quality.
The goal is to empower schools to take quick action as they monitor outdoor air quality and encourage student’s physical activity. LMA WI and Playworks collaborated to identify game options for each air quality level zone, based on the existing AQI recommendations.
Key Features of the AQI Activity Guide:
- Easy to understand colors/visuals
- Games suggested are easy to implement and most require minimal or no equipment
- Games that follow AQI health recommendations
- QR code to Playwork’s game library that allows staff to easily search each game and find game instructions
- Reminders to follow student’s asthma plans
- Short (1-2 minute) videos and/or explanations on how to play the suggested games
Benefits of Using AQI Activity Guide:
- Can be used anywhere by anyone
- Guide is easy to use so students make the most of their recess/playtime
- Promotes students to stay active even when air quality is poor
