SPEAK (C)UP! ACTIVITY
TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS ACTIVITY, YOU MUST SIGN UP TO RECEIVE THE FREE TEENS IN THE DRIVER SEAT RESOURCE KIT @ www.t-driver.com.
This fun cup-stacking activity can be used to bring awareness to impaired driving and help you start a conversation with your peers about the negative effects impairment has on a person’s ability to complete simple tasks and how teens can speak up for their safety.
Before your activity, research and find impaired driving statistics that you can share with your peers. Make sure you are using a reputable source. Write “SPEAK UP – Zero tolerance means ZERO ALCOHOL” (or some sort of Speak up! message) and an impaired driving statistic on each cup.
Have students stack cups in a pyramid twice – once without impaired goggles and once while wearing goggles to see the effect it has on their ability to stack the cups.
Review the statistics on the cups as you play. Talk about the impact of impairment on your ability to complete a simple task like stacking cups. Talk about how it affects a person’s ability to drive and the importance of speaking up for your safety and the safety of others if you see someone thinking about driving impaired.
