How Red Ribbon Week "SmartZone" Works

Seven SmartZone skits introduce a problem requiring students to choose a healthy behavior remedy. Students create a display of icons that match each healthy behavior.

BEST OF ALL

Use the skits for a drug and alcohol school assembly! Supersize it and host an evening SmartZone assembly for parents to attend.

SmartZone implements healthy choices long term by working into the school day. Elevate the healthy behaviors of drug-free youth by using this phrase, ”I see you are in the SmartZone.” This phrase acknowledges good choices stigmatize mental health.

Main Activities:

Problem Solving

Brainstorming

Script Building

Acting

Artistic Rendering

Team Work

There is even a ‘homework assignment’ for parents or guardians that promotes discussion around drug use. Another extra credit component lets students walk a parent or guardian through the SmartZone to demonstrate the skills the student is working on.

Once the SmartZone workbook is purchased, the worksheets may be photocopied and distributed. The nonprofit CANDLE, Inc. is here to help!

Customized Drug Abuse Resistance Education

SmartZone is easily adapted for online learning for individuals or teams of students. A unique ‘I Promise’ class personalizes the prevention education program for different groups.

Homeschoolers can also use our research-based program to help teens resist peer pressure. Individual parents can switch places with children and allow them to offer a scenario for healthy choices. Role-playing among students promotes discussion of healthy choices.
