What's a Teen Maze?
Teen Maze is one of the most interactive educational games for teens. It has been described as a life-size game board to help teens see firsthand the consequences of life choices. Volunteers interact with teen participants in a fun and creative way to convey important and vital information about a variety of health and educational issues. Teens go through a unique experiential learning activity that reminds them of the benefits and consequences of poor choices or smart decisions. In turn, they are assured of important educational curriculum -- a life skills education.
Teen Maze - A Life Skills Education
There are 3 tracks in the maze that teens weave through - a Health Track, a Substance Abuse Track and a Positive Alternative Track.
- A Health Track covers topics such as nutrition and body image, depression, the media, sexually transmitted diseases, teenage pregnancy, relationships, legal issues, and parenting.
- The Substance Abuse Track targets the dangers of drinking and driving, tobacco, meth, and other street drugs.
- The Positive Alternatives Track offers insight into selecting a career and educational aspects of that career, as well as service learning opportunities and volunteer work.
At the end of the game, teens will have gone through an experiential learning course with many take-away lessons and tips. This is what makes Teen Maze one of the most rewarding educational games for teens.
