Pawnee Heights Elementary in Burdett, Kansas, capitalized on the popularity of a current game show to reach students. The school acted out “Deal Or No Deal” using paper briefcases. The “contestant” chose a case, then was shown the contents of other cases opened by students playing the “models,” such as an X-Box or laptop computer. The “banker” tempted her with things like looking cool by smoking and freedom from stress with beer. The contestant stayed strong and kept her own case until the very end, a case which held “a long, healthy, happy life.” Your students could reenact this game, too. Reward them for participating and for making good decisions with “My Life, My Choice” Red Satin Ribbons or “My Life, My Choice” Bookmarks.
