Alcohol Prevention Bingo contains fact and ideas to foster thinking about why the group should not use
alcohol. Prizes that will consist of alcohol prevention information will be awarded to each Bingo winner.
Alcohol Clothesline Display is an exhibit that consists of 60 t-shirts that display facts, statistics, and
stories in regards to alcohol. This display will be strung on multiple clotheslines and displayed in
between buildings of high traffic area.
Don’t Get Loaded Before You Hunt is an interactive way for students to see the dangers of mixing
alcohol and hunting. Students will wear our Fatal Vision Goggles and try shooting at a target with a
paintball gun.
Street Dance will be set up much like stereotypical party scene, minus the alcohol. A Disc Jockey will
provide music, karaoke, and alcohol information throughout the night. During the party, students will be
served with non-alcoholic drinks in an alcohol prevention stadium cup. Also, they will be taught how to
calculate their Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) and be able to take home a BAC bookmark that is
specific to men or women.
