The SmartZone Substance Abuse Prevention Workbook for grades 5-9 gets kids up and out of their seats. Just like smartphone apps save time, SmartZone 'acts' become quick connectors to healthy choices. Activities center on the healthy behaviors of drug-free youth. Seven SmartZone skits introduce a problem requiring students to choose a healthy behavior remedy in a collaborative, creative ending to the skit. Students create a display of icons that match each healthy behavior. For extra credit, youth make an appointment to 'walk' a parent/guardian through the SmartZone icon display. Here's a big bonus: The workbook activities (acts) conclude in a ready-made assembly showcasing all seven skits. Ala carte' activity selections are perfect for Red Ribbon Week or drug prevention awareness anytime - even all the time. There is an option to fully embrace all SmartZone features for a school-wide continual healthy choice practice. Staff can daily applaud any student's positive behavior with the compliment, "I see you're in the SmartZone today." Staff training is provided in the workbook. SmartZone is suitable for traditional or homeschool settings and is a good choice for scout troops as well as SADD and youth groups.
