NEW FOR THE 2011-2012 SCHOOL YEAR

Decision Making and Drug/Alcohol Awareness Assemblies

GOOD DECISION, BAD DECISION- Suitable for elementary grades:

Welcome to the hot new game show to help kids learn the skills to make good choices for themselves. Your host Squint Popinjay and his assistant Vaina White help our two contestants (Doofus and Gracie) explore their options and use critical decision making skills

GOOD KID GONE BAD- Suitable for middle school grades:

In the style of a film noir detective story our hero Mr. Spade Private Eye is hired by Eric to investigate why his younger sister has started acting out. Throughout the investigation we discover, the sister, Kathleen, has been dealing with the pressures of her new middle school workload.

Presented by four actors, both show follow concepts your students will easily understand and allows your students to help the performers make the right choices and avoid the wrong ones.

Through the scenes your students learn to define what a drug is and how drugs and alcohol affect your body. Your students will see examples of peer pressure and learn why it is important not to let others make decisions for you. Our aim is to educate students through the art of theatre. These presentations would be a perfect compliment to your Red Ribbon Week or simply reinforce your students’ critical thinking skills.

CONCEPTS COVERED:

-Good Decision Making Questions to ask yourself

o Can you be honest about your decision?

o Is it against the rules/law?
