Students can peruse the various activities (trivia flap pages, a This or That? game, a choose your own adventure-style story, and a word scramble/maze) while eating their lunches during Red Ribbon Week. These table toppers enable prevention information to be shared in an entertaining format while both encouraging and empowering students to make positive choices without disrupting the busy school schedule.
