At Merrill Road Elementary School in Jacksonville, Florida, students traced and cut out hand shapes on black paper and green paper. On the black hands, they wrote unhealthy activities, such as doing drugs or smoking. On the green hands, they wrote healthy activities, such as exercising or eating vegetables. The school’s PTA made a stunted black tree trunk and a strong brown trunk. They added the hand “leaves” and labeled the trees unhealthy and healthy. The trees created a great visual statement. “Drug Free, The Healthy Way To Be” Educational Activities Books would be useful for giving students ideas for the leaves. “Drug Free, The Healthy Way To Be” Temporary Tattoos could be good reinforcement of the lesson.
