Older children can match the name of a drug to a fact about the drug. This game can be played on the floor, a table, an easel, or a board. A bicycle obstacle course is most appropriate for younger children. Using the pylons, create obstacle course for children to complete on their bicycles. Adults can monitor children as they ride through the course and help them obey the rules of the road.
Children can participate only if they wear a protective safety helmet.
To demonstrate the need for safety helmets, prepare a gelatin mold and place it in a shallow pan for display. Allow children to touch the mold to understand the consistency and frailty of a brain. This activity can be modified for older children by creating an obstacle course that stresses the need for helmet safety in roller sports including skateboarding, roller skating, and in-line skating. This component of the activity is optional. Brain-shaped molds are available through health educator catalogs.
