(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

If one refusal doesn't stop them, try a different idea
Find friends who share the same values
Let's not
harm
ourselves or
others.
Assertivness
Be Honest
a feeling that I must do the same things as my friends
Say, if you want to drink so badly go get one yourself
Say "Thank you for including me but no thank you"
Avoid the situation
Say, I don't feel like it right now
I can't I have other plans
Say, no, it will be hard to play baseball if I'm high
Could we maybe hang out tomorrow instead?
I reserve the
right to not
partake.
Go walk around town
Say, nah, I'm good right now.
Ignore the offer
Change the subject-say, let's go get a snack, I'm hungry
Tools for saying NO effectively
Use "I" Statements
Be Polite but Firm
repeat the refusal
Not an ounce,
I gotta
bounce!
Ignore
Say, maybe another time.
I have a doctors appointment
Say, if you were a real friend, you wouldn't ask me to do this
Just say NO
Surround yourself with friends that make good choices
Offer an Alternative
suggest another activity
I have other plans, Could we maybe hang out tomorrow instead?
Be confident
Repeat if Necessary
Peer Pressure
Strength in numbers
I want to stay healthy
Not going to a party that is serving alcohol
Make an Excuse
Use Humor
I have to walk my dog
Say "Thanks, but No Thanks"
Make a Joke
Say, I need all the brain cells I can keep
I have a lot of homework/big test to study for
Walk away
Not a chance,
I won't touch it.
I don't even want
it near me!
