Think B4U Drink
|
Think B4U Drink is a fantastic and educational board game about alcohol, but it’s more than just Snakes and Ladders, it’s a virtual drinking experience with activity, drama, emotion and competition thrown in. The game is best played with 13-16 year olds, young people who are considering and experimenting with alcohol, but it has something to offer for all teens and adults too. The game comes out of Scotland, with a Grampian stamp due to the sixty or so young people who helped to design it, and would have a role across the UK with some small changes to the legal information it contains.
Think B4U Drink was evaluated in 2004 by Anni Stonebridge and Jennie Biggs, and has been endorsed by the Scottish Executive. The reason the game is successful is that it closely reflects teen environments and experiences, allowing them to test their own and their mates’ decisions and behaviour.
The group backing the game are currently marketing the game in Scotland, and hope to extend this across the UK. Contact Anni Stonebridge for details.
