A Simulation Activity
This simulation activity can be played anywhere - Greater Cincinnati and beyond.
| Objective: | To provide preteens and teens an opportunity of a safe environment in which they can explore the serious consequences of poor life choices such as pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, substance abuse, runaways, school bullies, school violence, and encounters with police. |
| Description: | Using make-believe scenarios to make a
point about life and death, the Game explores a variety of subjects.
Volunteer police stress proper behavior options when stopped by the
police. With the help of 20-30 volunteer community professionals
(police officers, social workers, agency representatives, judges,
etc.) and volunteer actors, up to 75 youth participate in simulated
situations that require them to make on-the-spot decisions and
choices. The professionals set up mock locations to provide
counseling as though they were actual clients. The Game ends with
the youth assembling for group discussion and closure. Sponsors are
encouraged to continue Game dynamics with the youth in future
sessions. It is designed to be shocking, confrontational and
brutally honest, bringing participants face-to-face with real life
situations while serving as a "hands-on" memorable,
preventative tool.
