Give each group's recorder a copy of the student page. The recorder will be the only one in the group to see the Consequences Game student page until the game is over. Explain to students that to simulate the unpredictable effects of steroids, each student will roll the dice to determine the consequence. To make the odds more realistic, tell students to roll one die on their first try, two dice on their second try and three dice on their third try. The number on the dice will correspond to the number on the Consequences Game page.
Students brainstorm strategies to refuse steroids.
Ask students to brainstorm what to say or what to do if someone pressures them to use steroids or any other drug. Write student responses on the board. Take a class poll to determine which five responses students think would be most effective. Other strategies include delaying tactics, humor, giving an excuse or suggesting an alternative. Reflect, summarize and discuss.
