This is one of my most powerful lessons! The Drug and Alcohol Counselor at our school got a copy and uses it with the groups she runs. This lesson is definitely in my "Top 10 Favorite Lessons" Series (See links below.)
THIS LESSON IS INCLUDED IN THE BEST HEALTH CURRICULUM: A COMPLETE SEMESTER OF HEALTH LESSON PLANS AND IS ALSO PART OF THE "DRUG UNIT." (See links below)
Narcotics are quickly becoming the drugs of choice for teenagers today. This 29 slide Pharm (Pharmaceutical) Party PowerPoint presentation teaches students what drugs are classified as narcotics, how they affect the body, why teens want to use them, and the dangerous side effects of taking pills and heroin.
The PowerPoint covers dangerous drug interactions, and how individual body chemistry can interact with pills and increase the chance of overdosing or having risky side effects.
The presentation also covers a dangerous activity called "Pharm Parties" where teens all bring pills from their home medicine cabinets, dump them all in a bowl and take turns selecting pills and taking them.
After the PowerPoint presentation students will select 8 pill cards from a bowl in your classroom and fill in a worksheet showing overdose, dangerous drug interactions, and individual body chemistry interactions.
The activity includes the worksheet, printed pictures of all the pills and their names (which you will need to cut and glue together) and also the cards students pick as they start the activity. (You'll just need to cut these out.) Just bring a bowl from home and you're ready to go.
It was really impactful for my 9th graders to see how unpredictable the results of this dangerous activity can be. My students really enjoyed it and hopefully they're convinced how dangerous it is and won't ever try it!
I've included the activity in both Word and PDF formats.

TOP 10 “FAVORITE LESSONS” SERIES: {Click on the description below}
In my 17 years of teaching Health and designing hundreds of lessons, these are my top 10 favorite lessons. First, I love teaching them because they present powerful, and valuable lessons for teens; and second, they’re favorites because they’re engaging and students have fun while they learn.
1. Food Label Scavenger Hunt. This lesson is my #1 seller. After students have read 42 food labels, they totally understand how to decipher the information on any food label!
2. Life Stories Project. The 3-Day project will have your students learning to embrace the hardships that make up their life stories, and sharing personal experiences they might not have otherwise talked about.
3. Alcohol Refusal Skills. This lessons starts with an interactive PowerPoint quiz on “Peer Pressure Lines,” continues with a true story about a dad who allowed his son to have an alcohol party in their basement, and ends with small group role-plays. Very powerful!
4. Fat and Sugar Nutrition Lab: Turn your classroom into a science lab to show your students the fat and sugar in 15 different products. Products sheets are included.
5. Dangerous Decisions Activity. Help Teens Realize the Consequences of 14 different risky behaviors they may be tempted by.
6. “Intervention” Addiction Lesson. Using “Intervention” T.V. Show to teach your students about addiction and treatment. Very powerful. This lesson teaches itself!
7. Nutrition Media Literacy. Have fun showing your students how food manufacturers manipulate us to buy their products. Kids will be surprised by what they learn.
8. Narcotics Dangers “Pharm Parties“ Lesson. Simulate a “Pharmaceutical Party” and help your student understand the dangers of narcotics, including prescription pills.
9. Fast Food Lesson. Help students analyze healthy versus unhealthy fast food restaurant choices.
10. Sexual Pressures Flip Charts. Help your students come up with assertive answers to sexual pressure lines.

FEEDBACK
Tara Edwards (TpT Seller)
This worked well. I should have printed more drug cards so that the students got to grab more but it worked well.

This was fantastic! My 10th grade students really enjoyed it. I tweaked the informational portion by adding two two minute video clips on narcotics Xanax, which really helped them to understand the difference between the drugs. thanks so much for the lesson. I will definitely be using it every year.

Thanks for the compliment. Do you have the names or webpages for the video clips you showed? They sounded good and I'd like to add them to my lesson!! Mrs. S.

Wish the units you sold were a little more clear as to what is included.

Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Thanks for your idea. It does get a bit tricky with so many lessons to let buyers know just which ones are included in the units...and also if it's included in my complete curriculum since that's now posted too. Thanks for the response, it reinforces what I'm trying to do.
