The Drugs & Alcohol Therapy Ball - (Vol. I) PREVENTION
A Great Drug & Alcohol Prevention Tool!
Our Drugs & Alcohol Therapy Ball (Vol. I) provides an excellent way for students to learn about drugs and alcohol. This ball has 31 questions that will give students a thorough introduction to this often difficult topic. Can be used at school in organized classroom activities and in counseling settings. It can also be used at home.
At Home Or On The Playground
Basic play is simple. Two or more players toss the ball to each other, answering the problem underneath or closest to their left thumb. Each problem is numbered and enclosed in its own space, assuring the child will know which problem to answer.
Playoffs:
Pairs of children toss the ball back and forth for one minute answering problems. A scorekeeper tallies which team has the most correct answers in the time limit.
In The Classroom
Beat the Clock:
The entire class plays cooperatively as one team, trying to better its own time and number of correct answers in each game.
Directions:
1. Choose a timekeeper. You also will need a monitor - teacher or student - to keep track of correct answers.
2. Divide the class into two lines of equal length, students facing each other.
3. At the timekeeper's signal, toss the ball to the first student. As quickly as possible, this student reads and answers the problem underneath his/her left thumb.
4. This student then tosses the ball to the student directly across from him/her in the second line. This student reads and answers the problem under his/her left thumb.
5. Play continues until all students in both lines have had a turn. When the last student has answered, the time and correct number of answers are recorded.
