Teachers receive a resource pack, and while ASH suggests activities, it encourages schools to develop their own ideas to build up a sense of project ownership. Activities range from drawing, games and singing for younger students, to speech competitions for the older students. ASH puts equal emphasis on making activities both educational and enjoyable for the children and their families. Making anti-smoking activities fun communicates a positive message which appeals more to young people. The year's major activities are conducted on Children's Day and on Father's Day.
Children present their songs, dances, artwork and plays for their parents' enjoyment and education.
Schools are visited by the Smokebuster Caravan , which presents tobacco information in the form of displays, videos, games, and demonstrations. Smokefree Schools 2000 is a holistic programme which targets teenagers in and out of school. Programmes include the promotion of a positive non-smoking image, education on the facts about smoking and the provision of a healthy school setting. The Smokefree Generation theme carries through the programme. ASH has secured support from Thai film and music stars who appear in many of the posters and materials produced.
