This booklet includes reproducible activities and a unit quiz for grades 7, as well as instructions for implementing them.

The activities are divided into three categories.

"Keeping Healthy" This section includes a survey designed to determine students’ perceptions about tobacco, their understanding of its effects, and their experience with it. In addition, it includes activities to educate students about the health consequences of tobacco use.

"How Friends Fit In" In this section, students explore their relationships with others. The activities focus on peer relationships and how peer pressure, influence, and acceptance may affect their lives. There are also activities on refusal skills to help equip students with strategies for saying "no."

"How I Am" This section has students look at how they act, feel, and think. Topics covered include self-esteem, social image, decision-making skills, and personal values (what is important to each student). The activities are designed to provide students with a chance to practice decision making and to empower them to make healthy decisions.
