Players read and respond to prompts about substance abuse. Discussions may include knowing the dangers of drugs and alcohol, how to avoid addiction, knowing how people become addicted and what to do if you know someone who has a substance abuse problem. If time allows, follow-up by encouraging participants to roleplay and practice situations that could lead to drug or alcohol abuse.
Thumball is a soft stuffed ball to throw, roll, or pass in a circle or randomly. Catch it! Look under your thumb. Respond to the prompt.
