   Slam Dunk Drugs! Cool Prevention Tools
   Hold an anti-drug slam-dunk contest. Invite local college or pro athletes to talk about how they stay drug free so they can perform their best athletically. Give contest winners “I Pledge To Be Drug Free” T-shirts. Provide “Friends Help Friends Be Drug Free” Bookmarks to all participants to re-emphasize the dangers of drugs.

   Reality Check Cool Prevention Tools
   Stage a mock crash at your high school using cars that have been involved in crashes due to drunk driving. Invite paramedics to come and discuss the reality of drunk driving. Encourage a safe and alcohol-free graduation by having all students sign a “Pledge To Be Alcohol Free” Pledge Card and wear a “Think—Don’t Drink” Button on their graduation gowns.

   Get Fit! Cool Prevention Tools
   Celebrate good fitness with a field day. Promote an active lifestyle by holding fun, fitness-oriented contests like a three-legged race, a water balloon toss, and a relay race. Have all students sign a Fitness Pledge Card , and distribute “Fueled By Fitness” Water Bottles and “Fueled By Fitness” T-shirts to the contest winners.

   Peer Educate Cool Prevention Tools
   Start a peer-education program to get both older and younger kids involved in tobacco prevention. Train high school students to talk about the dangers of tobacco, and teach middle and elementary school students that smoking isn’t cool—it’s deadly. Give peer educators “O2 Addicted To Life Not Tobacco” T-shirts and have them pass out “Smoking Stinks” Sparkle Pencils and “O2 Addicted To Life Not Tobacco” Sparkle Pencils to middle and elementary students.

   The Play’s The Thing! Cool Prevention Tools
   Have high school students write and produce a play that encourages abstinence. Include scenes that emphasize self-respect and healthy relationships. Present the play to middle and high school students, and make sure to set up a table with “Respect Yourself—Wait” Sparkle Pencils, Pens, and Rubber Band Bracelets. After the play, have an open discussion about why abstinence is important.

   Truth In Advertising Cool Prevention Tools
   Help debunk the myths behind tobacco advertisements. Hold a “Truth in Advertising” workshop and discuss facts versus misconceptions regarding tobacco use. Gather cigarette advertisements from magazines and newspapers. Make students aware of the tricks advertisers use to make their products seem appealing. Pass out “Smoking—The Inside Story” Bookmarks to reinforce the ugly truth about tobacco. Then ask students to sign a “Pledge To Be Tobacco Free” Pledge Card before they leave so they can show their resolve in not being fooled by Big Tobacco.

   Rally Against Violence Cool Prevention Tools
   Hold a violence prevention and awareness rally. Invite law-enforcement agents and representatives from women’s centers to discuss the impact of violence and ways to prevent it. Have booths that address domestic violence, gun safety, anger management, and community involvement, and give out “Smart Enough To Walk Away” Sparkle Pencils. To thank adult participants for their involvement, give them “Peace” T-shirts.

   Anti-Drug Club
Cool Prevention Tools
   Start an Anti-Drug Club in your school. Members can organize events to educate the community about the dangers of drugs and urge young people to find their “anti-drugs”—things in their lives that keep them from using drugs, such as computers, sports, fashion, friends, and reading. Club members can go to local elementary schools promoting these positive anti-drugs and setting up anti-drug fairs with booths that demonstrate better things to do than drugs. At their events, club members can distribute “I Pledge To Be Drug Free” Pledge Cards, “Respect Yourself—Don’t Do Drugs” Buttons and “Drugs Erase Your Mind” Erasers.

   Build Leaders Cool Prevention Tools
   Civic engagement teaches students character traits like citizenship, caring, and responsibility. Set up a teen leadership council in your school. Students can address problems in the community and then go about finding real solutions. Reward students for volunteering their time in the community with “Good Character Builds A Strong Future” Buttons and “Good Character...Priceless” Sparkle Pencils. Have students design their own leadership council T-shirt to wear when they participate in team projects like park cleanups.

   Get The Word Out Cool Prevention Tools
   Spread the message about abstinence and healthy habits with a community health fair. Provide information tables about sexually transmitted diseases, healthy living, domestic abuse prevention, nutrition, and exercise. Invite representatives from area hospitals and teen health centers to participate. Ask students to sign “Pledge To Wait” Pledge Cards and when they do, reward them with a “Respect Yourself—Wait” T-shirt or Water Bottle.
