MORAL ISSUES FOR TEENS · ALCOHOL

JUST one DRINK?

A two-team showdown. Fast, loud, and fun — but every round is really asking one thing: will you buy what the ads sell you… or what God says about alcohol? Because the first drink starts the slide — and your body was never yours to poison.

"Do not get drunk with wine… but be filled with the Spirit." — Ephesians 5:18

WINNER

Great game — but here's the truth behind it: alcohol destroys you internally, externally, and eternally. The real win isn't the scoreboard — it's a clear head, a body that glorifies God, and a life that stays sober when the pressure hits.

How to Play — "Just One Drink?"

🎯 The goal: Two teams compete to score the most points across 4 quick rounds. It plays like a fun trivia showdown — but every answer is quietly teaching one truth: alcohol is a depressant and a destroyer, the first drink starts the slide toward drunk, and a Christian is called to be sober and self-controlled.

1 · Set up your teams

  • Split the room into two teams (left side vs. right side works great).
  • To rename a team, just tap its name on the scoreboard and type. (Defaults already fit the lesson.)
  • Both scores start at 0.

2 · How each question works

  1. Read the card out loud to the room.
  2. Give teams a few seconds to talk it over and answer (shout it, or raise a hand — your call).
  3. Tap "Reveal Answer." Read the answer and the short "why" underneath — that "why" line is the whole lesson, so don't skip it.
  4. Award points using the buttons under each team (see scoring below).
  5. Tap "Next ▸" to move on.

3 · Scoring — keep it this simple

+1Right answer in Rounds 1, 2 & 3. One correct answer = one point.
+2Round 4 (Lightning) — it's double points, so a correct answer is worth two. Also use +2 in Round 3 if a team gives an answer that really nails it.
−1Oops button. Only if you need it — to correct a scoring mistake, or take a point for goofing off / blurting out of turn. You'll rarely use it.

In short: right = +1, Lightning = +2, and Round 3 you can give +2 for a standout answer. That's the whole system.

4 · Whose turn is it? (keeps it fair)

  • Rounds 1, 2 & 4: Alternate — Team A gets the first card, Team B the next, back and forth. If a team misses, the other team can "steal" for the point. This keeps both teams listening.
  • Round 3 (scenarios): Both teams answer the same card. Let one team answer and score them, then the other — nobody gets locked out of the deep questions.

The 4 rounds (and what each is secretly teaching)

  • Round 1 — Excuse or Truth? Sort each statement: is it what culture says about alcohol, or what Scripture teaches? Plants the core distinction.
  • Round 2 — Who Got Bit? Name the Bible person or passage — alcohol left a mark on their story.
  • Round 3 — What Would You Do? Real party-pressure situations with no single right answer — you judge the best thinking. This is the deep one.
  • Round 4 — Lightning (double points). Fast finish that drills the key verses and one-liners. First team to shout it right wins the points.

6 · Host tips

  • ⏱ Optional timer: On the home screen you can set a countdown per question (15–45s) to add pressure and fun. When it's on, it auto-starts the moment each question appears — it ticks the last 5 seconds and buzzes when time's up. Tap ↺ Restart (or press T) to give a team more time. Tip: if you don't want a clock on Round 3's discussion questions, just ignore it or mute the sound.
  • 🔊 Sound: Fun sound effects play for points, reveals, and time-up. Toggle them on/off anytime with the SOUND button (top-right). Works with no internet.
  • ⌂ Home: The HOME button (top-left) takes you back to the start screen and resets scores — it asks first, so you won't reset by accident.
  • Keyboard shortcuts: → = Next, ← = Back, Spacebar = Reveal, T = Start/Reset timer.
  • Keep it moving — aim for about 12–15 minutes total. The energy is the point; don't let it drag.
  • Open these rules anytime with the ⓘ RULES button — even mid-game. Your scores won't reset.
