Traffic Life Game
How does it work?
Players use a traffic light system to risk assess social and relationship situations and decide what their response should be:
Red: Don’t do it. It’s not safe.
Amber: Need to think. I’m not sure.
Green. Go ahead. It’s OK to try.
A discussion between the players and facilitator follows, and this helps players understand which response would be most appropriate in a given situation.
How do I use it?
The game requires a professional to guide the players through the game and to manage the group discussions. The facilitator takes a hands-on role, asking the questions, assessing the responses and leading short discussions about why an answer is most appropriate. The guide included in the game offers suggestions about how the facilitator could manage these discussions.
