Want to Protect Your 8 to 14 Year Old from Tobacco, Alcohol and Marijuana? Get the Game DENIAL(R)
Ottawa (PRWEB) July 19, 2007 -- The game DENIAL® was created with the single goal of educating teens and preteens on tobacco, alcohol, marijuana and other substances. DENIAL® has been approved by the two of the curriculum departments of two of the largest school boards in the province of Ontario and holds a student's attention with its user friendly board game format.
Carol Scott, recently judged to be one of the seven top elementary teachers out of 5,000 in the Ottawa area, found that ... "It frequently became a game of choice during inclement weather, as popular as games such as Monopoly? and Teacher Quiz?."
Adolescence is a time for trying new things and teens and tweens are at risk. The best way to protect them is through education and what healthier way than a game. DENIAL® solves the communication aspect, a problem many parents face. DENIAL® can be the bridge that opens the gateway between parents and children, in the safety of your home.
DENIAL® consists of two deck of cards "Choices" and "Consequences". The cards range from true/false , statement type or multiple choice format. When playing DENIAL®, you will be faced with questions such as "You are at a dance and a good looking member of the opposite sex comes up to you and offers you a joint. What do you do?" Or you may have to make decisions such as "Is it more important to be popular or keep your values?" or "Is alcohol a depressant or a stimulant?" or statements such as "Kissing a smoker is like kissing an ashtray."
DENIAL asks tough questions and empowers the players to make the right decisions. The right answers moves you around the board quickly while the wrong answers slow your progress. Curriculum consultant, Tom Macartney, played the game with his children before approving the game for use in elementary schools." He liked the game because it can serve as a tool to generate discussion. Students can relate to a game more than a person lecturing them."
The new e-store offers testimonials varying from teachers, parents, grandparents to children who have played the game. You will find specific sections for children, parents and teachers. While the game is currently only available in English, DENIAL® will soon be offered in French and Spanish. Visit the e-store where a trial game is accessible.
"DENIAL® can protect a large portion of the next generation, our children," says Barry Keane, creator of DENIAL® (http://www.Good4UKid.com), "by simply providing education on prevention awareness of tobacco, alcohol and marijuana. Let us not cripple another generation."
