Do you need event ideas?
Here are a few easy activity ideas to consider:
  • Share the IQ Challenge. This quiz is a fun way to test teens' drug and alcohol knowledge and helps provide the facts.
  • Print the free "I want to SHATTER THE MYTHS because…" pledge cards and ask youth to answer the question: "Why do you want to shatter the myths about drug use?" Take a picture and share it with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) on Twitter and Facebook by including the hashtag #NDAFW with your photo.
  • Test teens' knowledge of drugs and alcohol with the NDAFW BINGO card. Download the card and the glossary and play this game with others.
NIDA offers these and other materials free of charge. Plan to order your materials by January 15 to receive them in time for NDAFW.
For more guidance on hosting and planning an event, join us for the #NDAFW Twitter chat at 2 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, January 8, to get prepared! You can find us on Twitter @NIDAnews and be sure to use the hashtag #NDAFW to follow along!
