Question 4: What percent of 8th grade students used alcohol in
the last thirty days
Answer: 16%
Blue, Yellow, Green teams had incorrect answer
Red has the correct answer
Score keeper totals the scores.
(If Red at zero had continued to loose points they would continue with a
negative total score. All teams continue to play, even with a negative score.
Correct answers would add points to a negative score, possibly increasing
their score to the positive.)

Continue until all students have been
called upon to answer a question.
•Based on this example of the Guessing Game
the DARE Instructor will ask a minimum of six of
the questions so all students have a chance to
answer and risk points for their team.
•Depending on the amount of time the instructor
has in the classroom will determine how many
questions they have time to ask.
•Instructor must complete all questions by using
the PowerPoint, or giving the correct answer.
•Remember this activity is used to illustrate the
concept of risk and how one person may take a
risk that can effect others (consequences).
