I was searching today to update some images in one of my PowerPoints for RRW, when I stumbled across a remarkable find that I just have to share with you! I had been thinking about how much some medicine looks like candy and we had talked about this idea quite a bit in several of my classes. I was also thinking how awesome it would be if I could create a game where students had to guess which was the medicine and which was the candy. Well, someone has done that and shared it on-line! No need to re-invent that wheel! I have taken the link I found while searching Google images and hyperlinked it in a simple PowerPoint that you can use with your classes. There are 3 levels of play and it asks you to guess on each screen which item is candy or medicine or poison. When you click on your answer choice, it tells you if you are right or not and what each item really is. It also keeps track of your right and wrong guesses and gives you a score at the end. There is also a Spanish version.
I am really excited to share this new RRW activity with you. Personally, I was fascinated with the comparisons and think this could be done with any age groups K-12. There are not many resources out there that can say that. I can't wait to try it with my 1st, 2nd and 4th grade classes tomorrow!

Happy Red Ribbon Week!
Thank you so much! Will definitely use it! :-)
