Play Picture Communication Drawing Game:
3-people groups
I draw a picture on a marker board that one person from each group sees.
They go to one of their partners in the middle of the room to explain what I drew, but can only use lines and shapes in their descriptions (can't say it's a pig).
The middle person then takes the description and tells the group member in the back of the room. That group member must draw what they are describing. The middle group member cannot watch what they are drawing as they are describing it.

Students fill out the Decision Making and SMART GOAL NOTES
Discuss Decision Making
Ask students to discuss the following: Share an example of a values-based decision you’ve made. Refresh students on value-based decision making. A values-based decision is to make a decision based on what you identify as valuable to you personally rather than based on what is popular and easy. Use the PowerPoint to share examples.
Decision Making Steps
In pairs, students are going to identify an example of a character from a T.V. show, movie, or book making a decision. The example doesn’t have to be a values-based decision or a positive decision.
Peer Share - - After students have found and discussed a decision, they’re going to share the example with another classmate. As they share, they will explain why it was either a healthy decision or a positive alternative for the choice that was made.
Healthy Decision Roadblocks - - When students are done with their peer share, come together for a brief class discussion. Ask students to explore common roadblocks/barriers teens encounter when making decisions.
