Tick whether each risk is healthy (it could help you grow) or unsafe (it could hurt you or someone else). Then think one dare all the way through before deciding.

A friend dares you to walk across the frozen pond in March.

What could happen?

How likely is it?

Who else would be affected?

What will you decide, and what will you say to your friend?

For the grown-up

Think it through

Healthy: trying out for the school basketball team, answering in class when you're not sure, trying a food you've never had. Unsafe: riding downhill without a helmet, sharing your password with a friend, jumping off a garage roof into a snowbank. The pond: by March, ice in Alberta is often thin and rotten even when it looks solid, so falling through is a real possibility. Family, friends and whoever tries a rescue would all be affected.

Alberta's overview for Grade 6 says it plainly: choices touch a lot of people. The “who else” question is the one children skip.
